Excerpt from The Bee and he Industrial Revolution:
The hard fact is that a true reduction of emissions means a
reduction in consumption. This means the restricting the
manufacturing of consumer "want" goods, if they do not pass the
criteria of the "needs" rule.
"Wants" are the desire to collect possessions for the egos own sake
and because money is available to indulge in this kind of self
serving.
"Needs" are the possession of only the things-home, food and
clothing- that are essential for the survival of human beings and
serve the needs of the world community. The world can no longer afford
the "wants' of the a consumer society that was created by capitalism
merely for profit and no other reason.
Eva Morales, president of Bolivia, said. "We cannot continue as
we are or we will encounter our own destruction. Only recently,
Gorbachev observed: we need a new civilization model because the
present one has reached its end and has exhausted its possibilities;
we have to reach a consensus on new values, or in 30 or 40 years the
Earth may exist without us."
