Connecting the Dots
Doing ‘less’ is not a solution

In this episode of ‘Brighter’, Adam busts some of the myths on a particularly bad idea, the idea that ‘less’ – less energy, less transportation, less food, less labor – is a solution to our problems
Doing less cannot get us to net zero emissions. Degrowth doesn’t repair anything. And less economic productivity and less abundance only make solving climate change, and our other major problems, worse.

Adam’s book, ‘Brighter: Optimism, Progress, and the Future of Environmentalism” is available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNYC1GWY and as an audiobook on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes.
