Who are the "de-growthers" payin' for this Mediterranian junket?----------Environmentalists champion economic 'de-growth'

Environmentalists champion economic 'de-growth' | The Daily Caller:

"Environmentalists are pushing a new way to deal with global warming and overpopulation: the U.S. needs to “de-grow” its economy.


What is “de-growth”?

It means forcing people to work less to make them more equal, consume fewer goods and use less electricity.

Think of it like camping, but for the rest of your life.

Environmentalists at the New Economics Foundation in London and the Worldwatch Institute in Washington, D.C. argue that cutting the 40-hour work week and using less electricity is necessary.

This includes a living wage requirement and a more progressive tax code."
