Chapter 2
Consumerism and Sustainability

1. Consumerism
   1. Reducing what each of us consumes is not a palatable option for any but a few hard-core extremists.
   2. Given that we compete for resources, the general trend is to consume more, before someone else does. This leads to aquisition and the hording of unused material with the consequent protectioism to denying others the option of obtaining them.
   3. This is a function of limited intelligence and material habit. The greater consumption and storage gives the person a fleeting feeling of having power to ward of emotional discomfort and to avoid untimely death.
   
   
2. Sustainability
   1. There are two or three examples of sustainability and the word as often used as a tool of deception by those clever people bend on aquaireing more assets for themselves by implying doom to other if they continue or increase their current use.
   2. Those with an ounce or is that a gram of integrity and a grain of intelligence can hardly fail to have thought that there can be no sustainable use of finite resources.
   
   
3. Resources
   1. Given the common habit to permanently increase consumption, there is no honestly in so called 'sustainable methods. This is akin to the religious fear that if we don't live as we are told then we shall go to hell. It's the same old control mechanism applied to modern people.
   2. There are arguably infinite resources, but most people are focused on the material finite ones and words that would describe such use is to provide some short term security to we dependants.This is the role of politics. Useless people, wasting their time consuming more that their fair share trying to do an impossible job of controlling 6.7 billion people.
   
   
4. Security of use
   1. Every junkie and alcoholic would rest better if they knew they had an indefinite supply of their preference. There rest of us, if there are any, are no different, we just have different tastes and arguably consume even more finite resources. We want our future secured so we don't worry.
   2. However this is always the problem. We want our finite short lives secured, this is what we mean by sustainability. A mean concern for our selves and those near and dear to us.
   3. This security is far reaching, but henceforth I shall focus on the use of local land to provide resources primarily for food and .......
   4. OK I hope we can avoid the use of sustainable, sustainability and any other word implying we have unlimited powers to continually use one or another resource.
   5. That any consumption causes distress to another was never the issue. The problem was removing our own stress by consumption
   6. We now embark on a process of intelligence in trying to develop ways of consuming without causing distress. If measuring success was by measuring what less we  consume, we have an idea, but this cannot be devoid of a happiness to walk this path no matter what the outcome. For this is not about finding a better way of consumption so that the resources can last a bit longer but of finding a lifethat is not one based on death and consumption.
   
   
5. The false gods (Renewables )
   1. Given the limited time-frame we develop the illusion of sustainability. Given a suitable period consumption may seen sustainable.
   2. Every spatial resource has a lifespan and has a clear limit to its consumption.
   3. Given global warming and millions of years we could find new coal, but it's unlikely, no use to us and it's creation would not be a renewed coal but a new coal independent of our 'renewable' credentials.
   4. Sunlight is a constant, well at least for a while and can be used to it's received limit.
   5. Wind and waves are subject to the sun and climate factors. They are not renewables either and are a finite resource.
   6. Bio-crops are viewed as renewables as they are annual and grown by mankind. The only sustainable issue here is that man whilst in control can renew the carbon source. However bio-growth is a limited mass and only during a timespan can there be a sustainable use. Our ability being subject to sunlight and climate.
   7. None of the above will provide enough resources for an ever increasing demand and even the consumption on other planets and systems would not ultimately suffice and would definitely not be considered renewable.
