Polítics i economistes ens demanen que consumim més, per sortir de la crisis, però si consumim més i cada cop som més els que tenim que consumi per sortir de la crisi, el nostre planeta no aguanta, no hi han suficients recursos ni suficients matèries primes per el actual consum, ... Per mantenir el nivell de consum necesiteriem 3 planetes.


The Circular Economy. Great Idea, But Can It Work?:

"At Davos this year, the Circular Economy finally looks like an idea whose time has come. As the world population continues to grow and economic growth charges on in the emerging markets, with over 500 million middle class consumers in Asia alone by now, the global economy is pushing up against its physical limits given our existing model of production and consumption. At the current rate of growth and levels of resource intensity we will need three planets’ worth of resources by 2050. Obviously, this is impossible. Instead of giving up on material wealth, though, what if we simply became more attuned to “stewarding” precious resources through the value chain and returning them as inputs to new, refurbished or recycled products? The theory is simple enough. The challenge comes in the practicalities."
