“The socio-economic axis covers the level of importance given to human well-

being and equality and the environment axis covers the priority of the

environment from low environmental concern through technocentred to

ecocentred. The central shaded area of the map indicates the range of views

within the sustainable development debate; combining socio-economic and

environmental issues. There are views outside this area, concerned with either

environmental or socio-economic issues while ignoring the other.”

“Consumption is the utilisation of consumer goods and services for satisfaction of the present

needs of individuals, organisations and governments without compromising the ability of

future generations to meet their own needs.”

(Brundtland, 2009)

“Sustainable consumption involves business, government, communities and households

contributing to environmental quality through the efficient production and use of natural resources,

the minimisation of wastes, and the optimisation of products and services”

(Falkman, 1995)

“The use of goods and services that respond to basic needs and bring a better quality of life, while

minimising the use of natural resources, toxic materials and emissions of waste and pollutants

over the life cycle, so as not to jeopardise the needs of future generations.”

(The Oslo Ministerial Roundtable, 1995)

“Sustainable consumption implies that the consumption of current generations as well as future generations improves in quality. Such a

concept of consumption requires the optimisation of consumption subject to maintaining services and

quality of resources and the environment over time” (Salim, 1994).

“There is enough to satisfy everyone’s needs, but not

enough to satisfy everyone’s greed”

(Mahatma Gandhi)
