What do the Green New Deal, Santa Claus and the tooth fairy have in common? Find out as we talk with the founder of The REAL New Green Deal Project. Megan Seibert thinks we\u2019re being sold a fantasy \u2013 that we can run our current, materialistic, growth-obsessed economy forever on solar and wind (what she calls \u201cfaux renewables\u201d).\xa0

\u201cIt\u2019s not about what we want..., it\u2019s about what is possible. And what is possible is defined by ecological limits.\u201d

She advises we need to \u201cengineer a planned, intelligent descent.\u201d It may be painful, but you don\u2019t want to miss this conversation.\xa0

On the GrowthBusters podcast, we come to terms with the limits to growth, explore the joy of sustainable living, and provide a recovery program for our society\u2019s growth addiction (economic/consumption and population). This podcast is part of the GrowthBusters project to raise awareness of overshoot and end our culture\u2019s obsession with, and pursuit of, growth.

Dave Gardner directed the documentary GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth, which Stanford Biologist Paul Ehrlich declared \u201ccould be the most important film ever made.\u201d
