Jevons Paradox

Jevons Paradox

Definition

When efficiency improvements lead to more use of resources, not less.

Interpretation

We cannot innovate our way out of limits if efficiency fuels expansion. True change requires restraint, redesign, and reciprocity.

Living Invitation

Notice one place in your life where β€œefficiency” has led to excess. How could you reverse that loop?
