Créer une économie à l'échelle humaine

Add to favorites

Every year in Canada, millions of clothes end up in the garbage. To meet one's needs without falling into overconsumption by bartering, to establish a parallel economic system that includes the poorest, to ensure appropriate housing with the help of the Habitat for Humanity program, this is the challenge that our change-makers are taking up. At a time when our economic system is experiencing many failures, at a time when it favors a minority of individuals to the detriment of the majority, Tammy Moreau, Gerald Wheatley, Maude Léonard and Julie Weng-Law and her friends are working to meet the present economic needs of their community without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. How can we not call this a human-scale economy?
