Consumption -- What's Fair?

The articles on this site examine the links between overconsumption of resources by the wealthy, particularly by the people of the "First World", and its effects on poorer communities and the environment, and promote change towards living more "simply". The articles, written by a number of authors, examine this situation and make suggestions for change, some personal and practical, others involving changes in building better communities. See our introduction.
