Is there an alternative to world destruction through consumption? Today's lifestyle is considered by many to be detrimental to health. The psychosocial well-being of many people is characterized by consumption, passivity or busyness, boredom, greed, and indifference. The structural backgrounds and the global overall situation look similarly bleak: environmental problems, poverty and hunger, climate change, species extinction, and much more. The only alternative that could still prevent an ecological disaster lies in choosing a new way of life with a focus on sustainable production and consumption. But is there a willingness to rethink and make sacrifices? The participation, clinging to illusions, and denial of reality currently hinder a fundamental transformation in politics, economics, and everyday life. What perspectives for change are there?.
