Consumption and resources
An unequal distribution of the earths resources, means that a few people are living in a world of excess while many are living a life in poverty. The current high consumption in the developed countries with a high production in developing countries, contributes to an unbalanced and unfair relationship. How high is your own consumption regarding food, water, clothes and energy? If everyone lived just like you, would it be possible to achieve a sustainable development for the global population as a whole? What does it mean to be poor and what consequences does poverty have in addition to the purely material aspects? Reflect on your own lifestyle and what the term global poverty really means.
