Better Not Bigger: support a steady state economy for true prosperity

Better Not Bigger: support a steady state economy for true prosperity

The Issue

The current economic agenda is pummeling the planet, and it is failing to provide jobs, happiness, and prospects for a brighter future.  This business-as-usual agenda of perpetual economic growth has become outdated and even dangerous.  It is time to hit the reset button on economic growth and instead strive for economic health, which means balancing the economy with the rest of the planet.

Join top scientists, economists and sustainability experts -- E. O. Wilson, Bill McKibben, David Suzuki, Jane Goodall and many others -- who have already signed the CASSE Position to support the transition to a steady state economy.  In a steady state, the goal is to optimize the size of the economy, not maximize it.  That's the key to digging out of the environmental and economic hole we have dug for ourselves, and it's the key to building a desirable and hopeful society for future generations.
 
We need to support a clear set of principles for transitioning to a steady state economy like those outlined in the CASSE position. Declare your support for the CASSE position by signing this petition, then CLICK HERE to officially sign the CASSE position
