A faraway holiday, new clothes, or tender steak: “enjoyment” seems to go hand in hand with consumption, comfort and luxury. But those who want to enjoy and live sustainably have a hard time, because sustainability mainly calls for less: flying less, eating less meat, consuming less, showering less. Is a sustainable life simply less fun and we have to settle for less, or is it exactly the other way round: can we no longer enjoy without consuming? Come hear psychologist Esther Papies and philosopher Luca Consoli discuss the tension between enjoying life and doing good for the planet.
