"Resourceism offers a vision of a future in which all people have access to the resources they need to live a decent life, without compromising the needs of future generations or the health of the planet." Michael Corthell In recent decades, the world has witnessed a rapid depletion of natural resources, largely due to the unsustainable and irresponsible use of these resources by human societies.

What kind of world will our children inherit?  by Michael Corthell “The fact is, efficiency, sustainability, and abundance are enemies of profit.”  -  Zeitgeist Addendum First and foremost, it is essential to acknowledge that progressive, enlightened, and well-informed individuals are inherently aware that enslaving, exploiting, or causing harm to any sentient being is entirely unacceptable under any circumstances.
