I would not have heard about this but for my "degrowth" RSS feed: Scientists in France, Netherlands, Mexico, and elsewhere did banner drops, postering, vandalism, and protests this past Saturday. Their message:

"The belief that economic growth is essential for our well-being is a myth that mainly serves the interests of a wealthy few. Instead of endlessly increasing production, we should focus on producing what is truly essential for everyone’s well-being and ensuring fair distribution."

That's #Degrowth in a nutshell.
