Connect with Other Steady Staters
Kermit knows it's not easy being green. But it's easier if we talk with each other.
Steady staters need to stick together. It’s not easy confronting the juggernaut of unsustainable growth. And it can be frustrating to watch our leaders continue to pursue a growth strategy that is causing environmental, economic and social mayhem. At CASSE our interim goal is to make it politically acceptable to talk about an end of growth and a transition to a new era that seeks progress without growth. Achieving this goal won’t be possible unless we build widespread support for the concept of a steady state economy. By strengthening our community of steady staters, we can manage our frustration with the current economic framework and take a step toward developing that widespread support.
To that end, CASSE is serving as a hub for steady staters. We are pleased to provide several ways for people to network with each other in online communities and face-to-face groups:
Online
Add to the discussion on our blog. Our blog, The Daly News, is the place to add your comments on economic growth, the transition to a steady state economy, and other topics related to sustainability.
Join our Facebook group. Since starting our Facebook group, we have attracted many members, a good sign that our message is gaining traction.
Tweet with us on Twitter. Twitter doesn’t provide a whole lot of opportunity for interaction, but it’s a useful way to stay in touch, especially for the time-challenged among us.
Contact Us to join our Google group, SteadyStaters. We started this group to help outreach volunteers connect with one another. If you want to be part of this discussion group, please let us know.
In Person
CASSE staff time is limited (not unlike the supply of natural resources available for economic uses), so we are not currently coordinating local chapters or in-person discussion groups. But we are interested in cultivating and supporting such groups to the best of our abilities. If you are interested in creating and coordinating a local group of steady staters, the first step is to see who else is in your area. To do this, you can view our list of individuals who have signed the CASSE position on economic growth and sort the list by city, state and country. Then you can contact us, and we’ll do what we can to help you get in touch with potential collaborators. You can also develop your own group — use our tell-a-friend form to share CASSE’s position with others.
