How has this only got one like? This is such an enlightening episode - like you, I knew so little - and Alice is such a brilliant communicator. I'm going to have to listen again to take in everything she said, but loved her eloquent and no-punches-pulled delivery. Not least the on the nail observation that "green solutions and circular systems cannot operate unless we're in a degrowth economy".

A truly intersectional conversation. Bravo.

PS: totally here for a bit of Rene Descartes on the pod.

Yeah Tim, the depth of my lack of knowledge, has really shown up over the last few months. Alice, a few others and I, have been working on UN/PARA/LD almost daily, and I still need to go and give this another listen.

And, we’ve had just a few conversations about how circular economics only works with a degrowth of material production and I would say when the circular economy is decentralised and citizen-led. Which is why I love working in this project.

Thanks Tim. These episode tend to always be a slow burn tbh. Especially this one, which as you rightly say conveys some really fascinating and at times challenging ideas. And Descartes, of course.
