| Description | The chapter „Voluntary simplifiers and degrowthers: contemplations on meeting and missing between environmentally-friendly lifestyles and systemic changes“ builds on the empirical research of professor Librová and its rich conceptual and theoretical interpretations, combining her sociological, philosophical, psychological, and theological insights. It discusses potential crossovers between this bottom-up inspiration of „green and colourful“ lifestyles on the individual and household level, with more systemic insights of ecological economics and socio-metabolic studies, and related proposals of the degrowth movement. The chapter argues that despite the undoubted relevance of the grass-root examples for the broad social-ecological transformation, we will not be able to achieve it without active furtherance of farreaching systemic changes towards not only more sustainable, but also more just and more democratic socio-economic system(s). |
