Hi everyone,
With the challenges rapidly coming upon us, I would like to share this interview of Peter Victor, Professor of environmental Studies at York University, by Rob Hopkins, co-founder of the Transition Network.

I found this interview interesting because it presents the idea that growth, as we currently know it, is undesirable (it does not bring happiness) nor longer feasible (the planet can't cope with it). It promotes a different ambition for society.
I believe that this different mindset, a switch of priorities, would represents a good first step towards a better society.
