Introduction a consuming issue -- Sustainable consumption a mainstream agenda -- Sustainable consumption and the new economics -- Grassroots innovations for sustainable consumption -- Sustainable food growing carrots and community -- Sustainable housing : building a greener future -- Sustainable currencies : green money from the grassroots -- Conclusions : seedbeds for sustainable consumption.

Climate change is forcing us to rethink our lifestyles, but green consumerism won b2 st save the planet. Mainstream approaches simply cannot deliver the radical changes we need for a sustainable society. This book offers a fresh look at sustainable consumption, presenting a holistic New Economics approach. It explores how grassroots community actionsfor sustainability are experimenting withnew ways of working, measuring value and progress, and expressing ecological citizenship. Local organic food systems, low-impact eco-housing, and complementary currenciesare examined to measure theirsuccess at delivering localized economies and inclusive communities, enabling people to reduce their ecologicalfootprints, harnessing collective energies and building new forms of social organization. Viewing these activities as innovative b1 sgreen niches b2 s, the book explores the opportunitiesfor grassroots innovations to spread and influence wider society, and the barriers preventing them achieving their potential.
