Fall 2021 Workshop, "Living on Earth as if We Want to Stay." This workshop will be held Saturday, September 18, 2021, from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.
Workshop Description
With human activity pressing against planetary limits, perpetual growth is no longer an appropriate goal. This changing relationship with the Earth requires a different approach to mutual provision (the economy). Time-tested biological processes can secure long-term well-being as society’s economic “metabolism” adapts to our new situation. A glimpse of a future the grandchildren might enjoy can be seen through the precept “More Fun, Less Stuff.”
