The world we envision...
... is democratically changing towards:
 Zero population growth and subsequent reduction.
People understand that more children lead to more poverty
and stress upon the land. Social security for old age and illness
is provided by the community. Reduction will bring
population size in line with the earth's carrying capacity.
Steady state economy and subsequent contraction.
Halting economic growth will stop the increasing depletion rates
of non-renewable resources. New societal incentives will favour
economic contraction by restructuring and increased longevity of products.
Least polluting means of transportation by the phasing out of
private motorized vehicles and air transport. This is one major step
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thereby prevent run-away
climate change.
"Re-localisation" of working and living - firmly linked to the
reduction of transportation. People are having much more time and
money. The benefits for the community are enormous, in terms of
huge reductions in expenditure for traffic infrastucture, resource
and space use, and reduced illness and accident costs.
Frugality, re-use, repair, and recycling - reversing our exorbitant
resource consumption nad pollution.

Are you worried about the future?
• Humanity has overshot the earth's carrying
capacity - in numbers and per capita consumption.
• We are depleting the planet's natural and
non-renewable resources at high speed.
• All economic growth factually increases the rates
of resource depletion and destruction of nature.
• The dark horizon of collapse is
much closer than most people
and opinion leaders think.
Do you see real progress?
We advocate radical changes of public policy - on sound scientific grounds:
The general policy of economic growth must be
abolished in favour of maintenance and longevity.
Population growth must be stopped and reversed
because all countries are already overpopulated.
Our exorbitant resource use must be reversed
by economic frugality and societal restructuring.
Our debate is based on reality and a careful
distinction between illusions and real solutions.
