Equal waste footprints: a way forward

Our current lifestyles in the western world are unsustainable. We take resources from the earth and then discard them back again as waste when we have consumed them or finished with them. The levels of waste we create act as a kind of barometer to measure just how unsustainable our lives have become.

We need to learn to want less, use less, and be more generous – sharing the earth’s resources with those who have so little.
