The block considers whether pressures from consumers and governments, and the efforts of enlightened companies and innovators to develop new, more sustainable technologies, can bring about the change that is needed, or if it will be necessary to develop a more sustainable approach to consumption. The course raises some big questions such as, does'sustainable consumption' mean consuming less but gaining a better quality of life?Due to copyright restrictions the DVD material refered to within this book is not available.
