Degrowth in Practice

Degrowth in practice involves intentionally reducing economic activity to prioritize environmental sustainability, social well-being, and equitable resource distribution. It encourages downsizing industries, consumption, and waste, focusing instead on community resilience, local economies, and quality of life. This approach challenges the idea that continuous economic growth is essential, promoting alternatives like sharing resources, supporting local artisans, and emphasizing non-material values. By doing so, degrowth aims to create a more sustainable, just, and fulfilling society where ecological health and human needs are balanced without the relentless pursuit of growth.
