How would you describe #degrowth in a single sentence? "Choosing a slower, simpler, happier life by radically reducing material consumption and replacing it with nature-centric well-being community activities." Feels clunky to me. What would your sentence be? #ClimateEmergency

I spent yesterday in a corporate sustainability meeting at a major multinational FTSE 100 Plc. Everything measured against growth and profit ambitions trying to use #Sustainability as a competitive advantage. Is corporate sustainability even remotely compatible with #degrowth?

George Monbiot was the first journalist to write a piece about Doughnut Economics when it was published - I'm forever grateful because it set everything in motion.

Out today: this The Guardian article on putting Doughnut Economics into action. It's not easy to be written about publicly - many thanks to Hettie O'Brien for her thoughtful research. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Happy 90th Amartya Sen! An iconic thinker and elder who teaches us all to put the richness of human life, not the richness of the economy, at the heart of economics.

If you wish you could read Doughnut Economics in Ukrainian - or would love to share it with someone who could - then today is your day. It's just been published by НАШ ФОРМАТ. How could regenerative and distributive design serve the future of Ukraine?...

The magic of market transformation: How in just one decade LEDs achieved 📈 almost 50% market share in the US from near 0% and 💵 costs dropped by 93%. I could not find a more recent graphic combining both costs and market share data but you get the gist.
