Well said, Indi. This is the best, most lucid article you have done yet! Collectively, we are doomed, for all the reasons you cite: the utter impossibility and self-destructiveness of an “endless growth” consumer culture on a finite planet. But individually and communally, we still have options—for now. I summarize these as follows: Grow gardens, Grow community, Grow awareness. These are the only three things we can “grow” without destroying Gaia, our biological support system.
