For the final episode of season 5, PGAP welcomes special guest John Seed (OAM). John is founder and director of Australia's Rainforest Information Centre (https://www.rainforestinformationcentre.org/) and is an Australian figurehead for the Deep Ecology Movement (https://www.deepecology.net/). A long time hero of both co-hosts Mark and Michael, John combines decades of successful environmental activism with an emphasis toward re-establishing a deep emotional connection with the natural world. It is the disconnection from nature which has resulted in the endless growth paradigm which is tearing apart our societies and our planet. John shares his thoughts on why system change is not enough and why a fundamental shift in our collective psychology is needed to get us out of this mess. In addition to John's other accolades, he is also an accomplished musician. It was a pleasure to play his song ‘The World Bank Song' on PGAP. The song was written in 1990 for a protest against the World Bank in Washington DC and the message is arguably even more relevant today. The video may be seen on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6VVZif4fBo) and John's music may also be heard on SoundCloud. (https://soundcloud.com/johnseed) You can find more about the RAINFOREST INFORMATION CENTRE HERE (https://www.rainforestinformationcentre.org/). Or about DEEP ECOLOGY HERE (https://www.deepecology.net/). More links to John's work include articles on THE RELIGION OF ECONOMICS (https://rainforestinfo.org.au/deep-eco/ecorelig.htm), THE RIGHTS OF NATURE (https://www.rainforestinformationcentre.org/los_cedros), and CLIMATE GRIEF (https://journal.workthatreconnects.org/2023/09/02/hearing-inside-ourselves-the-sounds-of-the-earth-crying/). More information regarding the Atlas network may be read HERE (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/06/rishi-sunak-javier-milei-donald-trump-atlas-network) and HERE (https://knittingnannas.org/2024/01/18/atlas-network/). You can find out more about HOLISTIC ACTIVISM HERE (https://holisticactivism.net/) (founded by co-host Mark Allen). Both Mark and Michael Bayliss (https://michaelbayliss.org/) have been busy over the last couple of months. Mark has written A Holistic Activism Approach to the Population Issue (https://medium.com/@bayliss.michael/a-holistic-activism-approach-to-the-population-issue-f1c5d7d80624) for Medium. Michael was recently a guest presenter on the Rethinking Sustainability Podcast, on the topic of Growth and the Parasitic Economy. (https://sustainablecivilisation.com/growth-and-the-parasitic-economy/). Mark has written for Independent Australia: Sydney asbestos crisis the tip of the iceberg (https://independentaustralia.net/environment/environment-display/sydney-asbestos-crisis-the-tip-of-the-iceberg,18376). EcoVoice published Mark's article Climate Activism and the Crisis of Language (https://www.ecovoice.com.au/climate-activism-and-the-crisis-of-language-by-mark-allen-2024/). Last but not least, the PGAP Blog has been updated with a new post, Building a house in the 2020s (and other fun things!) (https://pgap.fireside.fm/articles/buildingahouse). At PGAP, we like to give a shout out to the work of our past guests. The highly anticipated De Gruyter Degrowth Handbook (https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110778359-018/html) has finally been released! Inside, contributors, including a forward by Jason Hickel, explore various facets of degrowth, delving into its intersections with Marxism, feminism, architecture, and issues related to the global south. A standout chapter, penned by our former podcast guest Alex Baumann and co-author Samuel Alexander, shines a light on the initial privatisation of capitalism, namely land privatisation. While the Handbook itself is behind a paywall, an excellent article in The Conversation (https://theconversation.com/huge-housing-costs-make-us-slaves-to-our-jobs-and-unsustainable-growth-but-theres-another-way-203144?fbclid=IwAR0YYO8Tg9psaa4QPGg3Xjr11nv_MVjSmEAi4rueFJqG21Bjqqn7FIn9Ie8) gives a great overview. PGAP will be on break for two months before we return for season six in a couple of months. PGAP has now been on the air for nearly four years and we are so pleased that community support for our grassroots program has gone from strength to strength across the five seasons. We are looking forward to many more stellar guests in season six and we will also be experimenting with 'mini-episodes' for returning guests.

A Public Housing Revolution for Degrowth with Dr Alex Baumann

Housing is an essential human need, but as the average median house price in Australian capital cities now exceed $1 million, this requires some very significant dropping into the marketplace in order to afford a roof over our heads. According to the research of PGAP's esteemed guest Dr. Alex Baumann, the act of owning a property of one's own can place one in that dreaded 1% richest people in the world. Alex discusses why the privatisation of land forces us all into lifestyles that are antithetical to the degrowth movement and why housing needs to be at the core of post-growth activism. Alex also explains why public housing is one overlooked solution and how reinvigorating this asset is part and parcel to a degrowth future. Ready to have your whole perspective on housing turned around? This is the episode for you! Dr. Alex Baumann and I found each other on the Town Planning Reblellion (TPR) Facebook group. Find out more about TPR and its parent organisation, Holistic Activism here (https://holisticactivism.net/town-planning-rebellion-tpr/). Want to be an ACTIVE part of the housing revolution? This is a great place to start. I interviewed TPR founder, Mark Allen on season 2's “Exploring Christie Walk EcoHousing with Adelaide Chronicles and Town Planning Rebellion. (https://pgap.fireside.fm/christiewalk)” If you liked the themes in this episode you'll love that one. I first came across Alex's good work in an article in The Conversation titled: “We are the 1%: the wealth of many Australians puts them in an elite club wrecking the planet (https://theconversation.com/we-are-the-1-the-wealth-of-many-australians-puts-them-in-an-elite-club-wrecking-the-planet-151208).” The article was co-written with Samuel Alexander, whose has been a inspiration for me in the Degrowth movement. Speaking of Samuel Alexander! The song of choice for this episode, “Meditations on Simplicity” is from the Mortimer's Method album ‘Dreaming Backwards, Falling Awake' (https://mortimersmethod.bandcamp.com/album/dreaming-backwards-falling-awake), based on excerpts from the Degrowth fiction novel ‘Entropia' by Samuel Alexander. ‘Entropia' isn't the only fiction work on post-growth out there. PGAP interviewed Sharon Ede (https://pgap.fireside.fm/magenovel), post-growth activist and author of ‘Mage', in season two of PGAP. Alex is even more animated on video! He explains many of the points raised in this episode and more in the YouTube video “A New Path to Sustainability (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRHIhmxknF4).” Ted Trainer is an inspiration for Alex and was brought up several times during the interview. You can hear the PGAP interview with Ted in full here (https://pgap.fireside.fm/tedtrainer). Finally, Martin Tye, Australian regional chapter director of CASSE, will be giving a zoom presentation for the Sustainable Living Festival on "Degrowth & the Steady State" on 06th February, 9am AEDT. More information can be found on the SLF website (http://www.slf.org.au/event/degrowth-steady-state/). Martin was a guest on the first ever episode of PGAP (https://pgap.fireside.fm/steadystate) and I'm sure he will be just as excellent in his presentation as he was on the episode! Essentially, I can't recommend him enough. Please contact PGAP (https://pgap.fireside.fm/contact) with your thoughts and feedback or rate and review us on Apple Podcast.

The Environmental Kuznets curves (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuznets_curve) Quotes On Degrowth This would be a way of life based on modest material and energy needs but nevertheless rich in other dimensions – a life of frugal abundance. It is about creating an economy based on sufficiency, knowing how much is enough to live well, and discovering that enough is plenty. In a degrowth society we would aspire to localise our economies as far and as appropriately as possible. This would assist with reducing carbon-intensive global trade, while also building resilience in the face of an uncertain and turbulent future. Wherever possible, we would grow our own organic food, water our gardens with water tanks, and turn our neighbourhoods into edible landscapes as the Cubans have done in Havana. As my friend Adam Grubb so delightfully declares, we should “eat the suburbs”, while supplementing urban agriculture with food from local farmers' markets. - Samuel Alexander, Life in a 'degrowth' economy, and why you might actually enjoy it (https://theconversation.com/life-in-a-degrowth-economy-and-why-you-might-actually-enjoy-it-32224) It would be nice to hear it straight for once. Global warming is real, it's here, and it's mind-bogglingly dangerous. How bad it gets—literally, the degree—depends on how quickly the most profligate countries rein in their emissions. Averting catastrophe will thus require places like the United States and Canada to make drastic cutbacks, bringing their consumption more closely in line with the planetary average. Such cuts can be made more or less fairly, and the richest really ought to pay the most, but the crucial thing is that they are made. Because, above all, stopping climate change means giving up on growth. That will be hard. Not only will our standards of living almost certainly drop, but it's likely that the very quality of our society—equality, safety, and trust—will decline, too. That's not something to be giddy about, but it's still a price that those of us living in affluent countries should prepare to pay. Because however difficult it is to slow down, flooding Bangladesh cannot be an option. In other words, we can and should act. It's just going to hurt. - Daniel Immerwahr, Growth vs the Climate (https://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/growth-vs-the-climate) On Perennial Apocalypticism My offices were so cold I couldn't concentrate, and my staff were typing with gloves on. I pleaded with Jimmy to set the thermostats at 68 degrees, but it didn't do any good. - Paul Sabin, quoting Rosalynn Carter in The Bet (https://books.google.com/books?id=nVd_AAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false) Mostafa K. Tolba, executive director of the United Nations environmental program, told delegates that if the nations of the world continued their present policies, they would face by the turn of the century ''an environmental catastrophe which will witness devastation as complete, as irreversible, as any nuclear holocaust.'' - New York Times, 1982 (https://www.nytimes.com/1982/05/11/world/un-ecology-parley-opens-amid-gloom.html) A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of "eco-refugees", threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP. He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control." - AP News, 1989 (https://web.archive.org/web/20201113001053/https://apnews.com/article/bd45c372caf118ec99964ea547880cd0) On Environmental Conservation It's not the case that humankind has failed to conserve habitat.

Feeling the Future through Fiction with Sharon Ede

“What we feel shapes what we believe. What if we could feel the future before it arrives?” So reads the back cover of new fiction book ‘Mage' written by sustainability professional, post-growth advocate and Adelaide local Sharon Ede. In this penultimate episode of the second season of PGAP, Sharon tells us why fiction, story-telling and emotional resonance are essential communications tools for the environmental movement to engage with the broader community. Providing facts and figures to rally the troops over large-scale existential crises has so far failed to work. Engaging people emotionally through storytelling and providing a ripping yarn just might be the missing link. Mage is definitely this kind of book and hopefully this interview will convince you to add 'Mage' to your post-growth library. I have not come across much post-growth fiction in my travels. Up until a few years ago, the 1970s novel ‘Ecotopia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecotopia#Reception)' provided a fascinating day-to-day account on how a more ecocentric society might operate on the west coast of the USA. Unfortunately, the book is starting to show its age somewhat in some of its social justice attitudes when looked back through the lens of the 21st century. A much more up to date fictional account of a post-growth society can be found in the 2013 novel ‘Entropia' (https://au.permacultureprinciples.com/product/entropia/) by Dr Samuel Alexander. At a seminar at the 2019 Earth Ethics conference in Melbourne, Dr Alexander shared with attendees the importance for story-telling and art to carry the environmental message to the broader world. In fact, the music project ‘Mortimer's Method' (https://mortimersmethod.bandcamp.com/) took this idea of art as education a step further by putting samples from the audio-book of 'Entropia' to modern music. An extract of the track 'How Now Shall We Live' is provided at the end of the episode. ‘Mage' joins this pantheon and yet Sharon Ede goes beyond utopian society fiction and casts a much broader net with her new novel. Spanning the continents between Adelaide, Venice and the Arctic, Mage brings together many of the ideas and innovations that Sharon has picked up through her years as an environmental and Post-Growth advocate. It is a ripping epic of a yarn, worthy of comparisons to Dan Brown, Tim Powers or even an episode of Doctor Who. This episode was recorded, once more, on site at Christie Walk (https://www.urbanecology.org.au/eco-cities/christie-walk/) eco-development in Central Adelaide. In fact, it was recorded on the same evening as my interview with Sue Gilbey and Mark Allen in the previous episode of PGAP! So thank you to Christie Walk for providing the venue and Sue for providing the recording technology. Sue and Mark stayed around for the interview, so on occasion they can be heard in the background during the interview. It has been a pleasure to spend some time in Adelaide and to interview the post-growth movers and shakers who call this fine part of the world home. So it is with slight sadness on my part that this is not only the penultimate episode of The Adelaide series of interviews, but also the penultimate episode of the second series of PGAP. The second season of PGAP has been an epic travelogue almost worthy of ‘Mage' including on site interviews from Northern Rivers to Adelaide and just about everywhere in between. It has been an incredible ride and thank you all for listening and travelling with me on this journey of discovery. ** Too much Post-Growth barely enough? Here are some links to further occupy your time. Thank me later!** A online link to find out more about Mage (and the seal the deal on your own personal copy) can be found here (https://www.magethenovel.com/) Want to find out more about Sharon and her extensive work outside of writing great fiction? Make a good start here (https://medium.com/@sharonede) The previous episode of PGAP was also recorded at Christie Walk (link here) (https://pgap.fireside.fm/christiewalk). Sue Gilbey interviewed Sharon for the Adelaide Chronicles podcast (link here) (https://adelaidechronicles.com/mage/) I mentioned Dr Michelle Maloney and the Earth Ethics conference of 2019. Michelle and her work with Australian Earth Law Alliance (AELA) and New Economy Network Australia (NENA) were interviewed for PGAP here (https://pgap.fireside.fm/4) Sharon was a founding member of the Post Growth Institute (https://www.postgrowth.org/). PGI's Robert Wanalo was interviewed in PGAP season 1 here (https://pgap.fireside.fm/pgo) The ABC article I referred to in the intro for this episode was titled "Sustainable development won't solve environmental crises, say these experts. It's simpler than that" (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-07/the-myth-of-sustainable-development/100504448?fbclid=IwAR03ZNRqZL2YaCwQjsRKiXCqWTC5u60fuco42a2YKT3pMU5k7rjJ8eOZBK8) Special Guest: Sharon Ede.

In this episode, our deep dive into the Axial Age meets the podcast theme of the importance of scale. The themes of thinking at different time scales, our effort of following a "thoughtline" through changing historical scales, is provided its psychological underpinning: scaling up is an identity-project undertaken by the human ego. To shift away from operating at global industrial scale, which operates above all through a consumptive appeal to the ego, towards instead thinking, living, and investing in our local communities, requires massive political reorienting premised on a deep economic transformation away from consumption. Beneath these massive changes, is a correspondingly powerful spiritual and psychological challenge to deny ourselves – a challenge which makes the inward turn of spiritual practice and its transformative potential indispensable. References: Alternative economic models were mentioned, Schumacher's “Small is beautiful” explicitly: Schumacher, E. F. (1973) Small Is Beautiful: Economics as if people mattered. http://www.smallisbeautiful.org/ A contemporary proposal is Kate Raworth's “doughnut economics”: https://www.kateraworth.com/doughnut/ Samuel Alexander has done a great amount of work on “degrowth” and “sufficiency economy”: http://samuelalexander.info/ Helena Norbert-Hodge has articulated a powerful defense of “local futures” and a focus on the “economics of happiness” (along with a 2011 film of that name) https://www.localfutures.org/ “Voluntary simplicity” is a theme that interweaves all of the above; see http://simplicitycollective.com/or the 1981 book of the same name by Duane Elgin.

Talking intentional communities and natural building with Dr Samuel Alexander. Sam is the founder of The Simplicity Institute which is an educational and research group which envisions a simple way of life. His most recent books are Simple Living in History: Pioneers of the Deep Future and Entropia: Life Beyond Industrial Civilisation. The latter book led one reader to offer him some land. The land and project there (in Moe, Gippsland) is called Wurruk'an, and it's an on the ground experiment where the theories of voluntary simplicity are put to the test.
