Food for the degrowth imaginary. toward an ecological, car-free, post-work future.
Greenhouse gas emissions need to drop dramatically, but the switch to electric cars has nothing to do with addressing climate change. Cars are a way of making money and maintaining a particular way of living. That needs to change.
a post-fuels society demands a change of everything.
Transportation, built environments, consumption, employment, and value systems need to change to ensure the future liveability of the planet.
Cities Designed for cars make life difficult.
A car-free society not only produces fewer greenhouse gases, the quality of the air is better, it’s quieter, and less stressful. People have greater freedom of movement, walk and bike more, interact with others more, and readily engage in civic life.
a just society in the shell of the old.
The ideas for a car-free post-work degrowth society are already here waiting to be put into practice.
