💯 YES. “The connection between #economicgrowth and new #development must be broken to reduce the #climate impact of the #builtenvironment, says Kengo Kuma.” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-08/japan-architect-kengo-kuma-urges-building-less-to-reduce-climate-impact

Just trust the plan, medical-treatment refusers.

The #bureaucrats and #policymakers have been trying to decouple #economicGrowth from #ecologicalImpact for years.
Ie. Decouple #GDP from #consumption.
The general consensus was it wasn't possible without gross #financialization and #inequality.
Nothing's changed.
They just using COVID now to achieve an even more pronounced #neoFeudal #corporateState.
If you have symptoms, #JustKeepToYourself.

Yes, that doesn't encourage frugality and innovation at all you are correct.
Someone recently characterised #GDP and #economicGrowth over the past century years since 1913 as actually a measure of how fast we can #waste.
A frighteningly acurate assessment when you think about it.

This #MattRidley is a #shill.
He spouts #financialisation ie. #decoupling #economicGrowth from #resourceConsumption.
The #constructionBoom is a disaster for environment, transferring wealth to #gentifiers, #wellConnected and #speculators. Look at #GrenfellTowers, and there's huge swathes of flammable and unsustainably built trash in Australia - see #FourCorners expose + #sandMafia.
We haven't seen so much hand-wavey trash for years.
Shill might be too generous - try #liar.

For bonus points:
Can we decouple #economicGrowth and growth in the #consumption of #resources and #energy?
