Kids of the near future are about to have very hard lives. Degrowing the economy is necessary to make human impacts on earth’s resources anywhere near sustainable.
Electric car windows are examples of low hanging fruit for degrowth. Cranked windows are a minor inconvenience, use less resources, make cars more resilient & weigh less, saving energy.
Same with replacing unnecessary plastics with the recyclable paper, glass & metal my generation got along just fine with. Or just don’t wrap many things at all. Organic produce wrapped in plastic is dissonant & often unnecessary.
Readers may want to reply with other ways to simplify yet retain a good life, degrow the economy, & keep Earth livable as long as possible.
