Tell the G20: infinite economic growth on a finite planet is not possible.

We urgently need global leadership from an autocracy of the world's leading scientists; we can no longer permit greed-focused economists let alone career-focused politicians or religious zealots to determine strategies for achieving a sustainable future.

Earth's biosphere simply cannot afford for human society to promote Growth anymore. Steady State is common sense.

Infinite growth can NOT be with finite resources. From now on it might be possible to improve things a little--but NOT to grow.

This is a close parallel to the 'Wise Response' appeal to the NZ government: www.wiseresponse.org.nz

Our finite world cannot sustain infinite growth. We must transition to a steady state economy for the sake of survival of not just humanity but all life on Earth.

From a small acorn large oak trees grow.

Every one has a stake in this, in can't just be about us anymore, but our children and grandchildren and the generations yet unborn. It is madness to pursue our current course when the outcome is so predictable and unfolding before our very eyes.

How can we explain to our grand-children that our greed has deprived them of their future?. A Steady State Economy is the only rational way forward,

A Steady State Economy is certainly achievable - but it will require much more courage from our leaders, and genuine leadership, not just reactive management!

It will be marvellous to see the best of human ingenuity applied to re-imagine the most powerful system we have yet created; our economic system

What is needed now is a change of consciousness. We must face the facts of what scientists report is happening to the planet we live on, and how we, the seven billion humans (and counting), are playing with fire. We must accept the reality that economic growth based on the exploitation of finite resources and destruction of our planet's ecosystem is becoming a threat to our own wellbeing and safety - and that to millions of people it will soon even become a threat to their survival. It is time to clear the air, literally, and start that transformation of our economy to one which is 'circular'. We must re-build our communities, our infrastructure and systems to something which is sustainable with a long-term perspective. Saying goodbye to the economic growth-model is at the same time saying hello to creating new jobs and building communities where moral sensibility and conscience is cultivated, and where fear, isolation, woundedness and hatred can be replaced with a sense of unity and togetherness. We have that option. It is up to us, if only we start making the right decisions now, advocating for that change of consciousness.

Infinite economic growth is not possible on a planet of finite resources, please work towards a more equitable, sustainable, just system.

We need to transform to a more equitable steady state economy and want this discussed by the G20.

We cannot have infinite economic growth on a finite world.

Serious attention to this issue is long overdue.

Please stop the greed and choose child-free.

We are destroying our planet with unlimited growth.

Let's live within the limits of our environment, and actually pass natural resources on to our children!

Constant growth cannot be sustained. Something else should be fostered by those who have the means to lead.

It's common sense, so face the facts!
