| | | [GMW #1455] Replacing The Consumption Explosion With Better Ways And Happier Lives | Wednesday 16 April 2008, Editor: Easy | RobertMuller.org | Contact | Subscribe | Unsubscribe | | GMW Blogs: English | Portuguese | Spanish | Tagalog | Dutch | | Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 6501 to 7000 | ~ Idea 6808 ~ It is not principally the population explosion which will destroy the Earth. It is the consumption explosion of the rich countries since the rich 1.2 billion peoples consume more than thirty times what the poor countries consume, they are equivalent to 1.2 billion multiplied by thirty, i.e. 36 billion people compared with 4.4 billion poor people. And if the consumption explosion of the west spreads to the poor countries it will be a total disaster and possibly the end of the livable planet Earth. * |
