Notes
(highlight:: Degrowth broadly means shrinking rather than growing economies, so we use less of the world’s energy and resources and put wellbeing ahead of profit.
The idea is that by pursuing degrowth policies, economies can help themselves, their citizens and the planet by becoming more sustainable.
Practical degrowth actions might include buying less stuff, growing your own food and using empty houses instead of building new ones, the website Economics Help suggests.)
