Description
This volume places consumption at the center of debate by conceptualizing the 'consumption problem' and documenting diverse efforts to confront it. Together, the chapters propose 'cautious consuming' and 'better producing' as an activist and policy response to environmental problems.
First Sentence
Consumption and consumerism have long been consigned to the edges of polite talk among North Americans concerned about environmental degradation and the prospects for sustainability.
