It is a myth that we must sacrifice nature for a quick buck. If we make choices that value money and economic growth above everything else, many of the things that make a good life – vibrant communities, leisure time, happiness and a thriving natural environment – will disappear.
We need a new approach: one that is actively better than growth.
Let’s improve our quality of life, not just the quantity of wealth. Let’s create better work with time for leisure, nature, community and democracy. We can value our rivers, oceans, forests and country for more than just what can be extracted from them.
