*It's worth remembering that GDP growth was meant to be only a war-time measure. It was to account for resources needed for WWII. It's no surprise it's such an exhausting system and way of life for us all. We're kept in a state of war-like frantic production.

Degrowth is an ecological necessity, but it is also a social and existential opportunity. Slowing down in order to survive, yes, but above all slowing down in order to live well, to really exist. (Original post by Timothée Parrique in French)

Etymologically, the term "radical" refers to Latin radix (root): To be radical is to take the problem to the root. Degrowth*, in this sense, is quite radical, because it not only heals the violence of capitalism, but also identifies the mechanisms that generate it.

Sure, it'll go back down... for now. But we were supposed to stay below the safe-ish zone of 1.5°C. This should be a wake-up call for all of us. This is a warning that we're not doing enough, and a reminder that we can still change course.

Last Sunday, I am in my bed, the time reads 3:15am and I just can't sleep after seeing the news. On Saturday (Nov. 18), global temperature broke a new record and was more than 2°C above 1850-1900 (or pre-industrial) levels, at 2.06°C 🚨

Despite being sealed up in 1912 due to rampant industrial pollution, the Bièvre river is now set to make a triumphant comeback, thanks to a movement to daylight it and restore its former glory.

Paris buried a river 100 years ago. Now the city is going to resurface it to combat climate change. In 1899, the Bièvre river in Paris was nothing short of a nightmare - oily and black, streaked with acids, dotted with soapy and putrid pustules.
