Can 'degrowth' save the planet?

Alvaro Alvarez
So, degrowth is not saying that we need to reduce everything. It's saying that we need to decrease some elements of our production that are not beneficial. An example of those elements would be fast fashion, private jets, the beef and meat industry. So it's not about decreasing everything.
所以，“去增长”并不是说我们需要减少一切。它说的是我们需要减少那些没有益处的生产要素。比如，像快时尚、私人飞机、牛肉和肉类行业等就是这样的要素。所以，这并不是要减少一切。

Sam Fankhauser
I think degrowth underestimates the power of innovation. Degrowth underestimates the need for investment that we need in new technology and in new solutions. And degrowth underestimates the social, sort of, feasibility of what they propose.
我认为“去增长”低估了创新的力量，低估了我们在新技术和新解决方案方面所需的投资，也低估了他们所倡导的方案的社会可行性。
