Stuck in Traffic? Head to Mars
Time’s Person of the Year is Dead Wrong
“If people don’t have more children, civilization is going to crumble,” according to Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year” – Elon Musk. He is, of course, dead wrong. We briefly explore that in this episode, and offer our take on Musk’s stone-age solutions to traffic congestion.
We also share thoughts about several growthbusting news items:
- Recent Arctic and Antarctic Research News
- Smart Perspective on Falling Birth Rates News (in India)
- Buzzkill Condoms
- Google Displays Emissions Info
- Systemic vs. Individual Climate Solutions
- A Black Box to Record Demise of Human Civilization

GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth – free on YouTube
On the GrowthBusters podcast, we come to terms with the limits to growth, explore the joy of sustainable living, and provide a recovery program from our society’s growth addiction (economic/consumption and population). This podcast is part of the GrowthBusters project to raise awareness of overshoot and end our culture’s obsession with, and pursuit of, growth.
Dave Gardner directed the documentary GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth, which Stanford Biologist Paul Ehrlich declared “could be the most important film ever made.” Co-host Stephanie Gardner has degrees in Environmental Studies and Environmental Law & Policy.
