Dear Michel,

On August 22nd the PGI turned 10, and we've got a new shiny logo to
celebrate! It so happens that the date was also Earth Overshoot Day – the
moment when humanity’s demand for ecological resources exceeds what the
planet can regenerate.

As we work together to meet the challenges of climate change and the global
pandemic, the *post-growth movement is moving into the mainstream*. In this
month's newsletter, find out why more and more thinkers are in favor
of *shifting
away from growth*, and how *businesses can build lasting success on a
finite planet*.

Plus, discover a revolutionary set of *skills to strengthen and revitalize
your community* with our Offers and Needs Market Facilitator Training, and
help show that *a more generous world is possible* by taking part in Free
Money Day 2020.

In solidarity,

September 15th is Free Money Day
<https://postgrowth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dcc08996cc57fb1c3f5af62ec&id=076a164f36&e=34e5d8f0fd>,
when people across the world will hand out their own money to complete
strangers, asking the recipients to pass on half to someone else.

As well as being a conversation about the benefits of economies based on
sharing, the day is an opportunity to expand our ability to receive. With
love and vulnerability at the heart of the Free Money Day exchange, we can
continue to heal the rifts that emerge in any scarcity-based culture.

"More and more thinkers are getting on board with the idea of post-growth,
or shifting away from growth as a dominant measure of human and societal
well-being."

outlines
how the pandemic has sparked urgent discussions about whether our
growth-based economic model is fit to serve the needs of humanity and
protect the environment.

As Oxford University Professor, Danny Dorling says, “It's not the end of
history, just the end of the roller coaster.”
