Eugene Memo — The Role of Cities in Advancing Sustainable Consumption (4 pages)

Some may question our use of the word excessive to describe modern day lifestyles of people living in the developed world but there's no other way because we know we are over consuming and our global population and  consumption is expected to grow significantly over the next 30 years. Its crystal clear today that we need to make a significantly greater effort to become more efficient and self-sustaining as our natural world requires or face a world considerable more competitive, unhealthy and uncertain than what we are experiencing today (conflict, terrorism, inequity, injustice, poverty, hunger, biodiversity loss and more).

 

We need combat this issue on all fronts with the greatest URGENCY as through our lives were at stake, beginning with what will produce the quickest and most beneficial results, especially around our personal consumption.

 

This should not viewed as living with less, rather it should be viewed as a goal around living more peacefully with one another and planet.
