Pragmatically, true human sustainability on the planet isn't realistic. "We have to accept that fact and not delude ourselves into thinking something is sustainable. Then you can try to achieve a situation where you’re causing the least amount of harm possible." – Yvon Chouinardpic.twitter.com/Gb2e7wS9gW

There are some folks saying that businesses don't need to grow, that they can get to "enough" and just coast. But, I can't see how that works practically.

In practice, your company will need revenue growth just to keep pace with: - Increase in business costs (2% each year is pretty conservative) - Increase in cost-of-living costs (currently 2%-3%) for employees If costs go up by 2%/year, revenue also needs to increase by 2%/yearpic.twitter.com/SWgDwOI1HX

I don't think I understand what you're saying. Can you point me to a resource that explains this more fully?

Ah, wait I get it now. You're saying actually consumption doesn't increase; just the cost of that consumption.

Yes, only price of that consumption increases. Economic growth is usually calculated with the real GDP which would only grow if production (and equally consumption) grow.
