Worried about the multiple crises we are living through? Housing, cost of living, inequality, poverty, food waste, species extinction, floods, bushfires... People smarter than us know how we can de-grow towards a sustainable, circular economy. And we will be much happier and healthier as a result!

We hear from some of those smart people -- Dr Mark Diesendorf, Dr Marilyn Waring, and Dr Steven Hail -- in an excerpt from a podcast called The Sustainable Hour, hosted by Mik Aidt. Anne agrees it is all soooo doable, and Kev gives us a dose of reality.
