Welcome to TPV - The Planet Vehicle, Conservation Watch!
Overhauling the "consume and dispose" engine that drives today's industrial economies is a multi-pronged challenge. Subsidies for extraction and harvesting of metals, timber, and other virgin materials; advertising that equates self-worth with ownership of goods; land use policies that promote materials-intensive sprawl-these are just a few of the engines that drive excessive consumption. Worldwatch research has documented the environmental damage caused by intensive consumption of fossil fuels, livestock products, paper, and other materials and products. Future research will explore how the procurement policies of governments, corporations, and other institutions might be changed to jump-start the market for "green" products.Planet > Worldwatch Institute - Consumption
