Thank you for your insights. Reducing waste & doing more with less are very important goals globally. Consumption-based economies may need to be reformed to thrive with less production of goods.
"The Future Does Not Fit in the Containers of the Past" because the containers of the future are smaller! Sorry my friend, I couldn't resist. Haha! --- You triggered this thought: with all of the talk about an imminent recession, wouldn't it be fascinating if a recession was caused because consumers chose to spend less instead of being forced by economic conditions to spend less? On a macro level, perhaps young adults are responding to climate change and other circumstances in a manner that will trigger a decades long recession. If humanity is going to find a way to reconcile itself with our planet, a century of iterative recession might be a very good idea. Unfortunately, our corporate and political institutions probably can't be nimble enough to execute on that idea - today's institutionalized mindset worships growth at all costs. "Fewer" will probably be catastrophic instead of organic. Let's hope not.
Smaller containers! Yes there is a mindset change which much of Managerial America is slowly coming to grips with
