This makes no sense. Moving emphasis from Production (work) to Consumption (leisure) increases carbon usage, and halts progress towards more sustainable technologies and conservative behaviours. Climate progress takes effort not entertainment.
I wasn't particularly impressed by TFA, but I don't understand this criticism of it.
Most work is also not aimed at food production or housing anymore because of technology.
I think the most sustainable long term approach is to aim for efficiency. No need to have people commute to an admin job that could easily be done by software.
That being said, we need to also strive for sustainable consumption.
