Sustainable Living

Sustainable living, as I explore in detail on my BigPicExplorer site, requires both abandoning exponential growth in resource consumption and repairing the global ecosystem that humanity has been systematically destroying, thus threatening our own future. In practical terms, this involves the following:

• Development of renewable resources for energy and materials
• Removal of pollution
• Restoration and creation of natural habitats
• Reusing products and extending their useful lifetimes (to the extent that doing so discourages more consumption of material resources)
• Building and supporting communities of people who work for each other's common good rather than competing for personal advantage
