ISSUES WITH RESOURCES-
WATER
LIMITED QUANTITY OF USABLE WATER
LARGE AMOUNT IN FORM OF ICE
RIVERS ARE INCREASINGLY GETTING POLLUTED
GROUND WATER DEPLETING
SURFACE WATER SOURCE NOT ENOUGH
505/06/2015
ISSUES WITH RESOURCES-
AIREMISSION OF CARBON DIOXIDE
LEVEL INCREASE FROM 280 PPM TO 400 PPM
GLOBAL WARMING
SEA LEVEL INCREASING, HEAVY RAIN,
DROUGHT, EXTREME HEAT, EXTREME COLD
FARMING WORST EFFECTED

ISSUES WITH RESOURCES-
ENERGYINCREASE IN CONSUMPTION
LIMITED QUANTITY OF PETROLEUM
PRODUCTS

SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION“…the use of services and products which
respond to basic needs and bring a better quality of life while minimizing the use of natural resources and toxic materials as well as the emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle of the service or product so as to not jeopardize the needs of future generations.”
UN CSD, 1995

Sustainable
Consumption ismore than “consuming green”
meeting basic needs
about changing patterns,
not “doing without”
responsible consumption consuming
differently, efficiently !!
1405/06/2015
Consumption
Optimisation Different consumption
what changes in choices and infrastructure will satisfy
consumer demand more sustainability?
Conscious consumption
How can consumers increase their quality of life by
“choosing and using” more wisely?
Appropriate consumption
Are consumption levels sustainable? Is consumption
the best way to achieve every type of quality of life? 1505/06/2015
Mixed messages from consumers…
I’d like to end poverty, stop violence and
racism,and get rid of
pollution. Everyone should be equal.
I want to dress in the nicest clothes,drive a great car, talk on the latest
mobile phone, and watch my brand new DVD

Needs - opportunity – ability model
of consumer behaviour
ProactiveReactive
Cleaner Production
Recycling
Treatment
Dilution
Sustainable Development
Sustainable Consumption
improving efficiencies of current production processes with an eye to product changes
money spent on environment is an expense not an investment, no economic return
using byproducts on/off site so that waste being disposed of is minizised
striving to change the way in which needs are met to reduce environmental impacts
GOAL
1705/06/2015
Consumption & Production:
Different Terms …Different
Concepts?
Voluntary simplicity
Leapfrog changeLeapfrog change

CLEANER PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES:
1. Waste Reduction at source
i. Good House keeping
ii.Raw material substitution
iii.Better process control
iv.Equipment modification
v. Technology change
vi.Product modification
vii.Production of useful by product2. Waste Reduction Through Reduce, Recovery ,Reuse ,Recycle

Sustainable Consumption
and Production: A Role for
ALL
Sustainable consumption and production is a
common responsibility of
Governments,
Industry,
Consumers and
Mass media.
2205/06/2015
Future
directions...Encompasses entire consumption and production system with
a life cycle perspective
Includes stages upstream and downstream of targeted area
Focuses on minimising impacts of entire system
Includes interventions that influence consumption patterns
(e.g., PSS, product information and product design)
Involves wide range of stakeholders
Covers both policy as well as techno-managerial aspects
2305/06/2015
Problems if a destination
exceeds its carrying capacity
include:Inflation
Tensions between different groups e.g.
environmentalists and industrialists
Deforestation
Congestion
2605/06/2015
Water pollution from increased
waste
Water shortages from increased
demand
Air pollution from increased cars
and flights
Unemployment or
underemployment2705/06/2015
Drought and famine
Power black-outs (electricity
shortages)
Visual and noise pollution
Disturbance of wildlife
Reduction in visitor numbers (tourists)
2805/06/2015
Increase in crime
Increased death rates and reduced life
expectancy
Shortage of school and hospital places
Housing shortages (homelessness and
increase in informal settlements)

Solution ?THREE PLANETS ?
OR
SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION AND
PRODUCTION.
DECIDE NOW- ACT NOW
