2025-02-04 Degrowth
===================

I posted a picture from our living room on fedi and noticed that the
book Who is Afraid of Degrowth by Céline Keller was visible on the
coffee table. And a bit later, @aimee@mastodon.nz shared a link to the
International Degrowth Network, specifically to their values and
principles:

> Welcome to the heart of our movement: the values and principles of
> degrowth. This space explores the core ideas that drive us towards a
> sustainable and equitable future, from wellbeing and community to
> justice and care. As with any pluriversal movement, there are a wide
> variety of values and principles, not all of which must be fulfilled
> at once for something to qualify as "degrowth". -- Values &
> Principles: Explore degrowth

I really like the two lists. Might be useful as a checklist before
doing things. There's more on the site, of course.
