"Small Is Still Beautiful"
Conventional economic growth has lifted billions out of poverty, but in the process caused grievous damage to the biosphere on which we all depend, asset-stripping the soil, forests, and oceans.
The obsession with ever-greater conventional growth is eating the foundations of our only home.
The challenge now is to see if we can find an economic system that can support both humanity and the needs of our living planet.

This means that if everyone in the world lived the way we do, consuming precious resources with insane glee, today would mark the day when we've used up *everything* the Earth has to give. All of humanity would simply have to shut down for the rest of the year. We'd be done.
Luckily for us, the rest of the world does NOT live like gluttonous United Statesians and Canadians. So, we get to keep on consuming at a mad pace for another nine months, while those pitiful poor people beneath us will have to pick up our crumbs just to survive.

Even as the climate crisis intensifies, big oil and gas companies, like Shell, are pushing the B.C. government to expand the liquefied natural gas industry. Doing so would mean thousands of kilometres of new pipelines, thousands of new fracking wells and megatonnes of new greenhouse gas emissions. It would also mean B.C. could not meet its climate targets
