The international community is called upon to take immediate measures to turn around the situation because ongoing trends, if left untended, will cause irreparable damage to peoples’ lives and the ecosystem.
In the international debate over how to make a low-carbon and biodiversity society, people seem to be divided into two paradigms and regimes, one advocating market-oriented globalizing approaches and pinning hopes on future technological advances, and the other calling for policy changes and new appropriate ecological institution-building.
The distance between food production and consumption began to cause a variety of problems, and dietary habits that only pursue speed and price are being criticized. In the U. S., the birthplace of fast food, one third of citizens are obese (overweight), and criticism against the food industry, which is regarded as being responsible for the current situation, is growing. Supported by the belief in mass production and scientism, genetically modified food has become popular in recent years without substantial debate about its influence on the future health and environment.
The existing capitalist economic system that prioritizes economic growth and profit maximization can hardly serve the purpose of encouraging recycling and developing a homeostatic sustainable society. At a time when more and more people are seeking spiritual wealth away from material desire, it is important to extend peoples’ areas of social activity; that is, the common and public sectors escaping the grip of the market economy.
Only when new systems and institutions are created to facilitate such endeavors based on peoples’ lives, will the avenue open to a sustainable low-carbon biodiversity society that is not based on economic growth. The development of the common sector can be facilitated if the citizens’ public awareness and political commitment heightens and if they begin to work voluntarily for the attainment of sustainable lifestyles and new public institutions that suit them. Our society will be changed to a kind of recyclic steady state world., text, application/pdf},
