to Jonathon Porritt re economic growth

Dear Jonathon

Would you like to write a post, please in reply to what I have just heard on Radio 4's 'Today'?  We had Luke Johnson, Vince Cable and one other, chaired by Amol Rajan at about 8.35 am to about 8.50 am.

Decades ago, you said that all governments' great golden target of 3% economic growth every single year for 25 years would result in production and consumption being doubled - clearly unsustainable and ruinous in a finite world that is not growing in line with our ever greedy demands upon it.  My "living unnaturally in a natural world and living infinitely in a finite world - pretty foolish."

Please listen to the discussion and write your comments, corrections, wisdom on your blog - PLEASE.  I need your political and ecological education!

All the best and thanks if you have time to oblige.

Tim
