In a finite world, making do with less is better than always wanting more

AWARE Simcoe September 10 2012

Put on your headphones and listen to Jeff Rubin, former CIBC Chief Economist and author of The End of Growth and Rex Weyler, ecologist, activist, writer and a co-founder of Greenpeace as they articulate some of the ideas that have informed AWARE Simcoe’s contributions to local political debate. All of these concepts should apply to the draft Official Plan, and to all decisions relating to water, food, employment, housing, transportation and waste.
