Reality

• our economy is not operating at a sustainable level.

​

What does this mean?

• On average, society is consuming resources equivalent to  1.75 of planets per year!​​

• This is like saying –we only have 7 gallons of water for 7 days, but we are consuming  1.75 gallon  per day​​

​

Why should we care?​

• If we run out of resources – society as we know it will not be able to continue. ​

​

This means:

• the supply chain and staffing challenges we are experiencing during covid will become the norm. Instead of increasing product variety and abundance, we will instead see a decrease in product availability. ​
