#12 A Conversation About Consumption

Source

There’s this blog I’ve been following for a while called ‘sustainability news’. It’s fantastically written and engaging, unfortunately it’s only in Dutch - but perhaps GoogleChrome can translate it for you if you’re interested.

One of the authors, Han Blok, is somewhat famous in the Dutch sustainability scene. He’s written a book called The Disease of the Excess (my translation), explaining why it is that we keep wanting to consume more. I decided to contact him to ask him a few questions. You’ll notice that the topics he covers are very relevant to what I’ve discussed here.
