Welcome to our in-depth exploration of degrowth. In a world shaped by economic systems, our articles delve into the intersection of green politics, degrowth, and anti-capitalist principles, providing a unique perspective on reshaping economic paradigms.
Our articles offer a green perspective on degrowth, examining how it aims to redefine success beyond mere GDP growth and advocates for a sustainable, balanced approach to resource allocation.
Discover how anti-capitalist ideals align with the Green vision for an economic system that prioritizes people and the planet over profit. We explore the complexities of dismantling the current economic framework and replacing it with one that emphasizes social justice, environmental sustainability, and community well-being. Navigate through insightful articles that unpack the strategies proposed by green political movements to reduce the size of the military-industrial complex.
Together, let’s envision and advocate for a future where economic prosperity is intertwined with social and ecological well-being.
While Trump is operating an overtly barbarous campaign against immigrants, refugees, LGBTQ people, and other groups, the continued use of Guantánamo demonstrates that this is much bigger than just one president: the United States is a carceral-imperial state.
Most infant formulas in the U.S. contain mostly added sugars instead of natural lactose, which experts say can harm early development, a new report from the University of Kansas shows. “Infants may consume upwards of 60 grams of added sugars per day, or the equivalent of two soft drinks per day if they are entirely formula-fed,” researchers say in the study, published yesterday [Feb. 24, 2025] in the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis.
Musk first announced his intention to build a space-based internet, which he would eventually call Starlink, in January 2015. He had plans to settle Mars, then the moons of Jupiter, and maybe asteroids too. All those space colonies would have to be connected via satellite-based communication; Starlink itself might one day be adapted for this use. Indeed, Starlink’s terms of service ask customers to affirm that they “recognize Mars as a free planet and that no Earth-based government has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities.”
For a CEO, work is often a seamless blend of decision-making, networking, and strategising—activities that can happen anywhere, from the back of a car to a five-star hotel. For their employees, however, work is defined by rigid hours, physical presence, and often mundane, repetitive tasks. While a boss may count a coffee meeting as part of their “workday,” an employee spends hours waiting outside the boss’s cabin for a signature, approvals or troubleshooting office technology late into the evening, none of which factors into their formal work hours.
Glyphosate, the world’s most widely used herbicide, may significantly raise the risk of an increasingly common chronic liver disease—even at low exposure levels, according to a new review of more than 40 scientific studies published over the past 17 years. It found a growing body of research links exposure to glyphosate (GLY)—and the commercial herbicides that contain it—to negative health outcomes for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
The Food And Drug Administration has laid off more than 140 employees including veterinarians, some of who work on tackling antimicrobial resistance. Efforts to curb the use of antimicrobials in farm animals and stem resistance to crucial antimicrobial medicines are at risk after layoffs at the United States Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine earlier this month, warn legal experts and public health interest groups.
Blocking the internet on your smartphone for just two weeks can lead to better mood and mental health—and may significantly improve your attention span, even making you feel as if you’re 10 years younger, new research suggests. Those effects continue even after internet access is restored.
Chemicals found in common food packaging plastics like cling film and snack pouches may interfere with the body’s natural 24-hour sleep-wake cycle, increasing the risk of sleep disorders, diabetes, immune problems, and even cancer, new research shows. Published this month in Environment International, the study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology is the first to show that everyday polyurethane (PUR) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics contain compounds that can disrupt the body’s internal clock (circadian rhythm) by quickly interfering with a specific cell signal (A1R) linked to sleep and light.
