Consumption Quotes

Sugary drinks are blamed for increasing the rates of chronic disease and obesity in America. Yet efforts to reduce their consumption through taxes or other measures have gone nowhere. The beverage industry has spent millions defeating them Picture Quote #1

People are hungry for community. They’re hungry for meaning in a society that is oriented around the production and consumption of consumer goods Picture Quote #1

Excess consumption doesn’t make people happy. We can continue to provide for our needs, but we can’t continue the endless pursuit of ever more consumer goods.

When coal came into the picture, it took about 50 or 60 years to displace timber. Then, crude oil was found, and it took 60, 70 years, and then natural gas.

Most people have difficulty coming to grips with the sheer enormity of energy consumption Picture Quote #1

At the outset of the creation of the euro in 1999, it was expected that the southern eurozone economies would behave like those in the north; the Italians would behave like Germans. They didn’t. Instead, northern Europe fell into subsidizing southern Europe’s excess consumption, that is, its current account deficits Picture Quote #1

What might be happening in human beings who experience near death is that they are getting cold, but before they get so cold that they would die, they’re actually diminishing their oxygen consumption in a way that is unknown. And that extends their survival limits, so they can appear dead but actually not be dead Picture Quote #1
