Sociologists call them the "degrowthers", in France there are more and more of them refusing to consume more and more. They refuse the spiral of the consumer society. When the rest of the population only thinks about increasing their purchasing power, the degrowthers prefer to work less, earn less and spend less. It is not about throwing away everything they own, but about gradually reducing their consumption by adopting an economical life, based on the D system. A whole program that is increasingly appealing to the French. It is impossible to know the number of "degrowthers" in France, but it is a real trend, an adaptation strategy to the crisis that is less and less marginal. The "degrowthers" are not cheapskates, but environmentalists who favor the D system. Concretely, they save energy, water, electricity and gasoline, limit their waste, they travel as little as possible by car or plane, boycott supermarkets, eat organic food produced locally to limit transport and packaging. So, who are these "degrowthers"? What are their solutions to buy less and less, to limit their waste or even avoid the car? Meeting with these consumers who have decided to change their lifestyle.
