I agree with the Barcelona declaration. The key is how to find a way out. We have to start with the false idea that there is perpetual exponential growth possible in a finite planet.
I will offer an example. We have an office in Pleasanton CA and a rural office near Tenkasi. I spend most of my time in Tenkasi now. Entirely different economic worlds and local GDP yet Tenkasi area quite livable in terms of amenities, with far lower ecological footprint.
Today more and more rural areas offer that "we can live and work well out of this place and have a low footprint life". Broadband makes it easy to do productive work.
This is my lifestyle. I also take auto-rickshaws and buses and use a car occasionally. Plenty of places like this in India and around the world. We can do good work out of places like this and my being there allows me to think about local problems like farm produce prices.
