To save the world, we’re going to have to stop working
Our society is addicted to work. (...) Much of this work is entirely pointless. (...) 37 per cent of British workers feel if their jobs are entirely unnecessary (...) If those workers are right, we could massively reduce climate change just by eliminating bullshit jobs.
Proposal two: batshit construction (...) glittering towers that are never occupied, empty office buildings, airports that are never used. Stop doing this.
Proposal three: planned obsolescence (...) Manufacturers are perfectly capable of making phones (or stockings, or light bulbs) that wouldn’t break; in fact, they actually do – they’re called ‘military grade’. Force them to make military-grade products for everyone. (...)
