I know this could be thought-provoking but...
The Eastern part of the world is quickly gaining ground in terms of wealth, increased and better lifestyle, higher spending consumption...but it's not just the few hundred millions of the Western Europe or the North America...here it's about billions.
Nowadays we're sucking up about 1.5x the resources of the planet...to figure out how it could be when those billions increase their lifestyle up to Western standards...well...either makes me shiver or think like a catastrophist.
Have a read to this article I found in the Guardian and let me know what you think...comments are open just below this post.
In the meantime, enjoy this one...
