Tuesday Video: Sun People Dry Goods shows “Growthbusters” this Thursday
Sun People Dry Goods will host a free showing of Growthbusters: Hooked On Growth on Thursday at 4pm.
It looks at how economy, footprint and population are connected - and we can’t keep on expanding forever. “When I set out many years ago to try to get my community unhooked from growth addiction, people kind of thought I was evil because, ‘Growth, are you kidding me? Growth is the American way!’” said David Gardner, the director of the film in an interview with Politico. “Yet I recognized that you can’t have perpetual growth on a finite planet so I set out to make it okay to be against growth.”
And yes, Gardner sports a Ghostbuster-style outfit as a nod to the 1984 film. Who you gonna call?
Check out the trailer below.
