No increases in footprint 1.1.0 Jan 15 Everyone is worried about growth. Growth in number of people. Growth in consumption. But what if we did not have any growth at all. No additional people. No additional consumption. No additional human footprint How much would that reduce the human predicament. How "just" would our world be? How peaceful? How sustainable? In the next two essays I will show that even without any growth the world would be not just, not sustainable, and not peaceful. I show that just by being alive, each of us is partly or fully responsible for the death of one or more of our earth mates. |
