    What is the alternative to the vicious cycle of borrowing, spending, buying, wasting and. wanting? Peter Victor counsels, “When managing without growth we would take most if not all of the gains in productivity as increased leisure to reduce the rate of unemployment and the burden on the environment.” It should be no surprise when Juliet Schor reminds us that, "Longer hours raise the ecological footprint, both because of more production, and because time-stressed households have higher-impact lifestyles. Getting to sustainability will require slowing down the pace of life, which means working less.”
