Degrowth

Degrowth is a type of political movement that wants to make sure everyone has enough on Earth for everyone to survive and live happily. This means that instead of always trying to increase our consumption of resources, we instead work to reduce it so that we can maintain what we have. This means using fewer airplanes and cars and instead walking or bicycling to get around. It also means growing food ourselves, rather than buying it from the store, and using fewer plastics and other materials that have a negative impact on the environment. Degrowth is about making sure everyone can have enough on Earth now and in the future.
