Austerity

This word could sound old fashioned but i think it is the only attitude that could save the world. If we go on living beyond our limits, producing and consuming too much we will soon destroy our planet.
Instead of talking of growth we should start thinking about a decrease of the economy, at least in the West.
This could be achieved with a cooperation among the States, not certainly through competition.
A well planned decrease to compensate the growth of poor countries.
Austerity should be the new style of living of the industrialized world. Mankind and Nature before profit.
Will we succeed? I think it is very difficult due to the greed of so many people. However we must try, otherwise there will be no future.
So, bring a bit of austerity in your life!
