A summary of the web site goes like this:
The big problems:
1. Environmental Destruction
2. Population
3. Mineral and Energy Resource Scarcity
4. Third World Poverty and Underdevelopment
5. Peace
6. Inequality
7. Food and Agriculture
8. Social Breakdown
The underlying theme is that each of these problems is a
consequence of industrial consumer society and cannot be
solved without transition to a fundamentally different
society. The idea that technology or some magic pill will
help is a constant myth that keeps us from addressing the
core cultural problems.
The solution is presented at the end and is called the
conserver society.
