Living Outside The Box Sustainable Lifestyles

Does GDP really correspond to happiness? is our happiness tied up with ''stuff''? here are some ideas about sustainable living -- how many planets do we need to sustain our lifestyle?

The Division for Sustainable Development is holding a Seminar Series (http://bit.ly/d74V2m) addressing the thematic issues pertaining to the Commission for Sustainable Development 18th session (CSD-18) thematic topics. This video was of interest to the Seminar held on Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns (SCP) (http://bit.ly/9WdiIn). It is used at the seminar to illustrate specific concepts.

@Max01388 not necessarily. Not everyone has an iron will.

Not to mention some(many) people who believe this stuff don't have blackberries and cell phones and living sustainably doesn't mean being completely self sufficient.

It is a FACT that we are not living sustainably. If even environmentalists are too weak willed to give up creature comforts that just goes to show that humanity REQUIRES regulation to drastically reduce consumption.

If you people really believed this cute little piece of propaganda you'd get rid of your computer ,your blackberries ,your cell phones, your pig tail ecobulbs and wear or eat nothing you didn't grow or raise yourself.. Until then quit your bitchin.

The problem is, that the worldwide media broadcasts epidemicly to 'have an itching palm'(with other words: to consume as much as possible!)..
