"Time to rethink growth" Talk Europe! with Kirsten Dunlop

Can we depict a future and an economy in which living sustainable is equivalent to living well?
“We need to learn to live consuming less energy, less materials, and less resources. This is not a shift in how much we can populate the world with renewables. It's a shift in changing our demand and our set of expectations and changing our notion of a design for life. And it requires a willingness to embrace the possibility that living well has a new set of paradigms and forms.”
It’s about creating an environment at all levels, that provides steady directional guidance towards transformation of the economy. Not substitution of energy sources or substitution of materials, but a full-scale structural transformation. And above all, it requires a shift in mindsets.
