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

Our world has boundries. If we don't recognise them, how can we avoid crossing them?

Allway thought it was not possible

Besides the outdated inadequate economy models, another root cause of all other problems is the unsustainably large human population: it drives consumption, poverty, lack of education.

please

Exponential growth can't continue; trying to control the transition is imperative.

Humanity needs this now more than ever. We need to aim all our economies at the well being of all our communities along side the ecosystems that we all wholly depend on for our survival and NOT aim our economies at exponential growth whilst using up all our resources and polluting the earth, seas and atmosphere in the process

We need to rapidly scale back our impact on this planet. Humans need to start having a mutually-enhancing relationship with nature and our planet. Time for a restoration economy!

The current rate of consumption and economic growth cannot be supported by just our single planet. World leaders need to be brave and honest and accept that the current way of doing business cannot continue.

Exponential growth on a finite pkanet is nonsense!

A sustainability plan needs to take into account the needs fro wilderness and other life forms at the earliest stages in planning.

Continuous growth doesn't make sense in a finite world.

Please be honest about planetary limits.

It is time to be honest and admit that economic growth has to stop on this finite planet.

The steady-state is the only sustainable solution. All other options will either aggravate the problem or 'fix' it but temporarily until it returns with renewed vengeance later,

It's amazing that we still need a petition to make people realise the absurdity of infinite growth!

Evidence is strong to show that even wealthy countries are not able to reverse or manage the on-going environmental decline, loss of ecosystem integrity and ecosystems function, or loss of biodiversity under current socioeconomic paradigms. In addition there is increasing evidence that the period of unprecedented improvements in human health and longevity are showing signs of reversal not to mention massively increasing costs to, in any way, sustain the gains made. With a declining resource base and still growing human and domestic animal population, adherence to a conventional growth model is simply suicide.

Another term for endless, uncontrolled growth is cancer.

Growth needs to be successfully challenged if our civilisation is to make the necessary economic reforms to achieve sustainability.

Because so many people believe the 'grow or die' mantra, it will help if we develop a new definition of growth.

I'm less concerned that there are limits to growth than that economic growth so far has resulted in the extinctions of innumerable species and is undermining the capacity of the planet to support such a diversity of life in the future. Alternatives to economic growth must be urgently explored.
