Hi Relocalizers,

Many folks here are familiar with the idea of the limits to economic growth. If not, or if you want to see a message that presents the steady state economy as a positive alternative to the growth paradigm, take a look at this 5-minute introductory video:

My name is Rob Dietz, and I work for the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy (CASSE). We are trying to educate the public about the conflict between economic growth and ecological health. We are also trying to gain political traction by having folks sign our position on economic growth. Read and sign the position online:

Continued economic growth is not healthy for the societies of the world. We need to find a positive path forward, and I believe that path is a transition to a steady state economy which features strong local economies. If you agree that population cannot increase indefinitely and that there is a limit to how many resources societies can consume, then please help support CASSE in its mission.

Thanks,

Rob Dietz
