We asked Naderev Sano, climate activist & Executive Director of?Greenpeace Southeast Asia, what the relentless pursuit of growth takes away from the majority world. ? ? “Time. Give us back our time, the time stolen from all of us. Time with family and loved ones and time to be with our communities. Time to achieve our fullest potential. Time to enjoy our freedoms. Time. It sounds like this is a basic human right, but I have to say it because we are a long way from achieving it." ? ? In our campaign for a wellbeing economy, we’re asking activists what their hidden gems are. Hidden gems are: ambitions, dreams, opportunities, and too often, the basic rights that GDP and a growth-obsessed economy keep out of reach for our generation.? ? We’re calling for a future where people and the planet thrive together. ? ?? Sign our petition today and let’s demand wellbeing for all!? https://act.gp/3XEkYaI ? #WellbeingEconomy?#Greenpeace??

In a powerful interview with The New York Times, Irish writer Sally Rooney took the opportunity to talk beyond the plot and share her views on our broken economic system. In the interview's podcast version, she also highlighted: "I don't feel myself thinking about my growth as an artist if you will...I think that there is a huge cultural fixation with novelty and growth. Our whole economic system is built on constant, permanent, ceaseless growth. We all have to grow, everything has to grow all the time. Get bigger, sell more, be different. Novelty, reinvention. Those are the principles of our present culture." The true value of people and the planet is also hidden behind this obsession with growth. GDP and the obsession with growth has long been the standard for economic success, but it is not made for people to live their best lives. ?Join and sign our?#WellbeingForAll?petition: https://act.gp/3XEkYaI And...before devouring Sally Rooney's brand new book, let us know how you imagine a thriving planet without a suffocating economic system.?? #WellbeingEconomy #Intermezzo #SallyRooney?
