Article: A conversation with David Suzuki on his 75th birthday

Article: A conversation with David Suzuki on his 75th birthday "We've got to work on a stable economy that is in harmony with the things that make it possible to have an economy. Which is nature - we've got to incorporate the economy as a part of nature and stop this suicidal notion that growth is the definition of progress. The industrialized countries have got to degrow their economies. We've got to shrink. We've been able to develop as economies because we've exploited the entire planet and the ecological footprint of a country like Canada is just massive, way beyond the land that we've got. This is the challenge for me - that we've got to have a totally different concept of economics."
