earthlingLess Is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World by Jason Hickel, 2020Our planet is in trouble. But how can we reverse the current crisis and create a sustainable future? The answer is: DEGROWTH. Less is More is the wake-up call we need. By shining a light on ecological breakdown and the system that's causing it, Hickel shows how we can bring our economy back into balance with the living world and build a thriving society for all.<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nonfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonfiction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#degrowth</a>

Why We Went ExtinctThere might still be a shimmer of hope for a 22nd century with organized human life: the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trump</a> administration seems to be continuing their <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#degrowth</a> agenda, even against the warnings of leading economists.With the policies already showing significant effect on the American and world economy, this without a doubt is the most effective act of the degrowth movement up to date... and he just got started! <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgr21jjwg4wo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgr21jjwg4wo</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/breadcrumb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#breadcrumb</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DegrowthNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DegrowthNow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#extinction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/usa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usa</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/plottwist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plottwist</a>

AdamDHow do we ensure cooperation with future generations? Researchers from Harvard university investigated this through an interesting experiment: groups of 5 were given a pool of resources they could either exhaust entirely or use less to ensure sustainability for future generations. Within just a few generations, the pool was always exhausted because, despite the fact that most individuals WANT to share with the future, a minority of selfish actors take too much and ruin the balance. BUT... If the 5 individuals held a binding vote on how to apportion resources, sustainability was ALWAYS ensured.I think there are 2 positive lessons here. First, most people are NOT selfish. Second: our vote matters. Check out the paper (it's pretty short).<a href="https://lukemuehlhauser.com/wp-content/uploads/Hauser-et-al-Cooperating-with-the-future.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://lukemuehlhauser.com/wp-content/uploads/Hauser-et-al-Cooperating-with-the-future.pdf</a><a href="https://mountains.social/tags/sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sustainability</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#degrowth</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climatechange</a>

A: On the specific topic of achieving carbon neutrality, I see Degrowth as a crucial pillar. Transitioning from fossil fuels to green energy alone just shifts the problem, like dealing with excess batteries or where to put so many renewables. 1/5

Jonathan Schofield…Now I’ll accept that notions of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#degrowth</a> have to face up to the political improbability of being selected and, probably and more seriously, thermodynamics itself <a href="https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/112500670860562086" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/112500670860562086</a>but we certainly have to *try*, and as with all cultural endeavours, whether it can *work* is perhaps less important than the direction of travel it takes us in.Personally, I’d rather we soften the rain of blows coming to us than slam into a hard stop at > 183,000 TWh <a href="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/global-energy-substitution" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/global-energy-substitution</a>

What might that look like? ______________________________________Countries that have overshot ecological limits would scale back their non-essential production and consumption to lessen environmental impacts and to decarbonise more rapidly by:❇️ Reducing reliance on cheap fossil energy ❇️ Reducing the use of material-intensive luxuries like SUVs, private jets, and oversized homes ❇️ Stopping unsustainable practices such as the industrial production of meat and the culture of fast fashion ❇️ Curbing the wealth excesses of the very rich ❇️ Promoting public transportation over private vehicle use ❇️ Fostering a culture of durability and repairability in consumer goodsSimultaneously, the focus would shift toward enhancing social progress and human well-being by: 🔷 Guaranteeing universal access to high-quality essential public services like healthcare, education, childcare, and transportation 🔷 Ensuring affordable housing and living wages for all 🔷 Implementing a public job guarantee; a nationally-funded program where the municipal government provides jobs to those willing and able to work Embracing these changes does *not* mean rejecting technology. A balanced approach where technological innovation and efficiency improvements are pursued as long as they are sustainable, safe, and equitable should be encouraged. The focus is on using resources efficiently, distributing them fairly, and scaling down non-essential production to help societies achieve self-sufficiency and justice." ______________________________________LEARN MORE ➡️ <a href="https://explore.degrowth.net/degrowth/a-degrowth-economy-explained/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://explore.degrowth.net/degrowth/a-degrowth-economy-explained/</a>Original post: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/@breadandcircuses@climatejustice.social/114115863645398123" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://kolektiva.social/@breadandcircuses@climatejustice.social/114115863645398123</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Degrowth</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SelfSufficiency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SelfSufficiency</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Decarbonize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Decarbonize</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunk</a>
