In #Paris, travelling to "Hope in a Time of #Collapse", the annual gathering by Partners for a #NewEconomy

About collapse: "The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born."(Gramsci, 1930)

So hope lies in *allowing* the new to be born!

++ GO SLOW FASHION ++

An incessant list of human rights violations and excessive environmental impacts characterises the #fashion industry. The #overconsumption model is destructive to workers and the planet and must be replaced.

"AI is being seen as an end in itself, a competition between a few powerful companies, without consideration of how its benefits can serve targets we as society defined."

À #Bruxelles des manifestant.e.s, y compris des mineurs, #UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights Olivier de Schutter & eurodéputée @saskiabricmont.bsky.social, ont été poussés et éloignés par la police de leur manifestation légitime et autorisée.

The inconvenient truth is that the fixation on economic #growth is the block in our path to sustainability, justice and democracy.

The convenient truth is that prosperity is possible beyond growth.🌞
