But the world has also noticed other things: cleaner air, the re-emergence of wild animals, and a sharp drop in carbon emissions. Despite a short pause in retail activity in the past year, the global consumption of natural resources has been increasing for decades. In his new book, World Stop Shopping Day , Vancouver writer JM MacKinnon discusses how sustainable consumption can benefit the environment and improve the quality of life without causing mass unemployment or economic hardship. He wrote about people who buy less and earn less, so they have more time to learn, build relationships, and get close to nature. He also introduced some Japanese business owners whose companies span several generations. In these companies, continuity and employee and customer satisfaction are more important than market growth.
K Braun. "Europe has such a good train network; the rise of companies like EasyJet and RyanAir that made it so cheap to fly those short hops across the continent supported a terrible trend to fly instead of taking the train. I hope more jurisdictions in Europe punish short-haul flights and incentivize train travel. "And I'd love to see this come to Canada. Why are people flying between Montreal/Toronto/Ottawa? Take the train! Why isn't there a better train link between Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo? Why is there no high-speed train between Calgary and Edmonton? Canada was united by the train but it has been neglected in favour of the wasteful highway. I'd love to see train travel — as a genuine option for not only travel but also commuting — become a genuine option in Canada."
