This report makes interesting reading. I don’t know much about the Worldwatch Institute which calls for a wholesale transformation of values ands culture but doesn’t seem to say how. Unless we understand turbo- consumption and why we shop so much its impossible to move beyond it. People want to create their own lives – this is now hard wired into shopping. We need to come up with better ways of people creating themselves and their world. But the more the problem is pointed out, the more we might look for answers.
