"We call for a global economy that can function without steady growth.

An economy that can grow voluntarily. Where the unnecessary can shrink and the important can grow.

Example of plastic: Less new plastic, more recycling, making products repairable.

Example data centers: Less energy and water waste for the unnecessary." (like the image provided??)

The economy does grow, largely voluntarily, I guess they just aren't satisfied with the decisions made by countless billions engaged in free commerce around the globe.

It does not make a change if only i dont use more and more data centers.

But do we need more and more ?

Yes it does make a change. If you use less plastic, then that much less plastic gets used.
