Degrowth in respect to simple life
Simple life
The concept of simple life relates to how we as individual can and should change our life to reduce our ecological footprint and consume as little as possible. The concept is widely used in the US debate, and can be seen through such sites as noimpactman.com. The concept of simple life is less seen in the European debate, where many of the actors have academic backgrounds and therefore have a more academic approach to the degrowth debate (see page Actors).
A reason for the popularity of the concept of simple life in the US, might be that the culture in the US has a great focus on the individual and less on the government.
Synonyms for simple life can be: "Critical consumption”, "Anti consumption”, "Anti consumption"
