Hannah Arendt's three-fold conceptualization of human activity offers a useful base for understanding the necessity of degrowth and the kinds of activities required to achieve it. The article argues that the different roles of labour, work, and action should be acknowledged and scrutinized in detail to appreciate the underpinnings of contemporary over-production and over-consumption, as well as to prompt the organization of an alternative society. While following the Arendtian analysis on the origins of meaningful political change, which emphasizes the utmost importance of ‘action’, the article also underscores the importance of a different conception of ‘labour’ through physical activity, such as community supported agriculture, and ‘work’ through social activity such as building off-grid energy systems. The study aligns itself with Arendt's key insight that the origin of most contemporary problems relates to the disappearance of ‘action’, which for her is political, but also argues that the distinction between ‘paid’ and ‘non-paid’ activity has to be carefully considered in the context of degrowth. The article concludes that non-paid activities, particularly in the form of Arendtian ‘action’, have great potential to contribute to the degrowth movement. Demonetized activities are important for degrowth, as monetary transactions in capitalist societies based on interest and debt tend to contribute to economic growth, which is deemed ecologically unsustainable.

汉娜·阿伦特（Hannah Arendt）对人类活动的三重概念化，为理解蜕变的必要性及其实现所需的各种活动提供了有用的基础。文章认为，应认识到并详细审查劳动，工作和行动的不同角色，以欣赏当代生产过剩和消费过度的基础，并促进组织替代性社会。在遵循阿伦迪安对有意义的政治变革的起源进行的分析（强调“行动”的最重要意义）的同时，文章还强调了通过体育活动（例如社区支持的农业和“工作”）提出的“劳动力”的不同概念的重要性。通过建立离网能源系统等社会活动。该研究与阿伦特的关键见解一致，即大多数当代问题的根源与“行动”的消失有关，这对她而言是政治上的，但也认为必须区分“有偿”活动和“无偿”活动。在退化的情况下仔细考虑。文章得出的结论是，非付费活动，特别是以Arendtian的“行动”形式进行的活动，具有极大的潜力来促进人口增长。被货币化的活动对于经济增长非常重要，因为在资本主义社会中，基于利息和债务的货币交易往往会促进经济增长，这被认为在生态上是不可持续的。但同时也指出，必须在无人值守的背景下仔细考虑“有偿”活动与“无偿”活动之间的区别。文章得出的结论是，非付费活动，特别是以Arendtian的“行动”形式进行的活动，具有极大的潜力来促进人口增长。被货币化的活动对于经济增长非常重要，因为在资本主义社会中，基于利息和债务的货币交易往往会促进经济增长，这被认为在生态上是不可持续的。但同时也指出，必须在无人值守的背景下仔细考虑“有偿”活动与“无偿”活动之间的区别。文章得出的结论是，非付费活动，特别是以Arendtian的“行动”形式进行的活动，具有极大的潜力来促进人口增长。被货币化的活动对于经济增长非常重要，因为在资本主义社会中，基于利息和债务的货币交易往往会促进经济增长，这被认为在生态上是不可持续的。
