  • Taloutta ei pidä kasvattaa vaan supistaa – HS.fi – Oma elämä – Lukuisten tutkimusten mukaan ihmisten hyvinvointi ja elämänlaatu ovat jo kauan sitten lakanneet kulkemasta käsi kädessä talouskasvun kanssa. Talouden kasvu ei enää jälkiteollisissa yhteiskunnissa takaa laadukasta elämää. Sen sijaan se uhkaa maapallon ekosysteemien elinkelpoisuutta.

  • Detroit arcadia: Exploring the post-American landscape—By Rebecca Solnit (Harper’s Magazine) – But Detroit was building the machine that would help destroy not just this city but urban industrialism across the continent…Everyone talks about green cities now. The free-range chickens and Priuses are great, but they alone aren’t adequate tools for creating a truly different society and ecology. The future, at least the sustainable one, the one in which we will survive, isn’t going to be invented by people who are happily surrendering selective bits and pieces of environmentally unsound privilege. It’s going to be made by those who had all that taken away from them or never had it in the first place…This is the most extreme and long-term hope Detroit offers us: the hope that we can reclaim what we paved over and poisoned, that nature will not punish us, that it will welcome us home—not with the landscape that was here when we arrived, perhaps, but with land that is alive, lush, and varied all the same.
