  1. Economic growth as it has been defined in the last century has certainly harmed the environment. Growth requires energy and our primary source of energy is to burn carbon-based fuels, releasing CO2 into the atmosphere.

    However, it is possible to develop an economy around sustainable growth, including renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, etc.
