Downshifters are the antithesis of the acquisitive yuppies of the eighties. They believe that time is more important than money and that it is better to work less and be happy and fulfilled than be well paid for struggling with jobs that are stressful or unrewarding. Though it was heralded as "a new Renaissance philosophy" by the Trends Research Institute in New York, which is credited with inventing the term in 1994, the idea is far from new and, for example, echoes the Gandhian "voluntary simplicity" of the 1930s. To downshift means to cut out unnecessary expenditure and cultivate a simpler lifestyle with time to do more of the things one wants to do, but not go to the extremes of dropping out of society or attempting self-sufficiency.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - downshifter

La croissance en berne, certains s'en réjouissent. On les appelle les «objecteurs de croissance». Une famille étonnamment hétéroclite dont les membres, âgés de 20 à 60 ans, ont en commun de rejeter la société de consommation, la publicité à outrance «qui dicte les envies», l'individualisme, la course au profit, la déshumanisation du lien social. Depuis deux ans, en France, la tribu recrute de nouveaux adeptes chez les alter, les écologistes, les déçus de la gauche et d'autres qui se disent «apolitiques».  2, fiche 1, Français, - objecteur%20de%20croissance

En los últimos tiempos, un nuevo término no exento de polémica, el decrecimiento, ha irrumpido con fuerza en el escenario de la construcción de las alternativas. En términos generales, se defiende la idea de que hay que recuperar el sentido del desarrollo (humano) entendido como la mejora de las condiciones de vida de las poblaciones, en una perspectiva de sostenibilidad. Para lo que no tiene porqué darse –necesariamente- crecimiento económico, sino que hay que modificar determinados parámetros del modelo de desarrollo actual, y manejar nuevas variables que se correspondan con un desarrollo equitativo y sustentable, con las personas y con el planeta.  1, fiche 2, Espagnol, - decrecimiento
