Consumption
We should consume less. But we won’t. This is one of the biggest dilemmas we face in sustainability. The economic and political system is geared for growth, and the socio-cultural system is caught-up in consumption. I fear to battle to convince ourselves to consume less is already lost. In case I still needed convincing, a visit to the local 7-floor shopping mall in Bangkok confirmed my belief. There are only two viable, scalable solutions: 1. Produce sustainably for a circular economy, so that consumption matters less. And 2. Consume differently: think sharing economy meets sustainable, durable products.
