Sufficiency is a new approach to solving humanity’s consumption problems. It’s about using less, ensuring wellbeing for all humans, and staying within planetary boundaries.

    Change needs to start at the top. Cut the greedy fuckers out of the loop and you’ll see how much waste we can reduce

    Well, sort of. The top needs to change but that change won’t come from them, it has to come from the bottom. Alas it doesn’t and won’t as voters drift towards fascism looking for easy answers from the very people causing this rather then moving the political Ovrton Window and torwards more green, sustainable radical politcans that are currently sidelined by the orthodoxy.
