degrowth theory argues that traditional economics should be abandoned as a policy objective and that we should instead focus on economic & social metrics such as life expectancy, health, education, housing, and ecologically sustainable work as indicators of both eco-systems and human well-being.

but how do we actually achieve this without becoming so overwhelmed with personal responsibility that we ignore the possibilities & don’t act?

share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences in this town hall style discussion on the possibilities brought by embracing degrowth as a personal value and idea, how we can push those in power to change their outdated idea of economics, & how we can hold true to those values in a world that never stops selling.
