			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>nef</strong> (<a href="http://www.neweconomics.org/">the new economics foundation</a>, not the <a href="http://www.neff.co.uk/">oven manufacturers</a>) always seem to have a knack for coming up with slightly off-the-wall campaigns to describe their &#8216;hippies in suits&#8217; think tankery.</p>
<p>In the past they&#8217;ve come up with creative projects to rank how <a href="http://www.happyplanetindex.org/" target="_blank">happy the planet is</a>, get us to talk about our economic feelings in a <a href="http://30000ways.blogspot.com/2009/09/fink-club-explained.html">Fight Club style</a> (without the fist-fighting) and<a href="http://www.onehundredmonths.org/" target="_blank"> scare the shit out of us with a big doomsday countdown clock.</a></p>
<p>Their latest project is to have a dig at the idea that perpetual growth is a good thing for the planet by using the illustration of a gigantic godzilla sized hamster:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sqwd_u6HkMo" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sqwd_u6HkMo"></embed></object></p>
<p>There&#8217;s an accompanying report to go with the video &#8216;growth isn&#8217;t possible&#8217; which can be <a href="http://www.neweconomics.org/publications/growth-isnt-possible" target="_blank">downloaded as a pdf</a> (sensibly they charge for it in dead tree format).</p>
