Do we want world leaders to get together and declare a Global Climate Emergency?
Do we want all subsidies to oil companies scrapped?
Or do we want something deeper, more systemic: A new global marketplace in which the price of every product tells the ecological truth?
Or something even deeper: A paradigm shift in the science of economics — one that measures progress differently and understands that growth cannot go on forever?
WEIGH IN on the THIRD FORCE subreddit and let’s figure this out.
