"Sustainability is not enough: we need Regenerative Cultures"

"Creating regenerative systems is not simply a technical, economic, ecological or social shift: it has to go hand-in-hand with an underlying shift in the way we think about ourselves, our relationships with each other and with life as a whole."

“Let’s all move toward Earth-size lives.”

"If we had drilled down on degrowth as religiously as we’ve promoted renewable energy, the public might have moved toward seeing human behaviour from the perspective of Nature: humans have a rightful place on the planet, but it’s a smaller place than we imagined."

"we need renewables for a controlled soft landing. But the harsh reality is that, for now, and in the foreseeable future, the energy transition is not going well and has poor overall prospects.

We need a realistic plan for energy descent, instead of foolish dreams of eternal consumer abundance by means other than fossil fuels."
