Sustainable Lifestyles
The world’s resources are finite. If we continue to use up more fuel, more water, more building materials, more food than the earth’s reserves can renew, then we are in trouble. In the UK we have experienced over two centuries of consumption and growth based largely on energy from fossil fuels. At present we are using up over 3 planet’s worth of resources each year, a rate of consumption that is completely unsustainable. We need to look hard at our own consumption, travel and the choices we make when shopping for food and goods.
