(lifted from Sans Urgence).Euractiv reports that "With the world's natural resources depleting fast, the European Union and the United Nations are considering imposing limits on the consumption of anything from meat to air travel, plastics and fossil fuels in order to stop waste and pollution". This is not a white-collar joke.
"Put down the steak knife, flip off lights, insulate homes, turn down the thermostat or air conditioner, avoid air travel and park the car as much as possible," said Angela Cropper, deputy executive director at the United Nations environment programme (UNEP).
Since 'sustainable consumerism' is an oxymoron that cannot be overcome, wait now for the Member States' reaction - in due wooden language- to this good conscience's proposal that will quickly burry the idea. In the meantime, enjoy your week-end.
