Questioning Consumption

via

This week we read excerpts from "What is Public Policy?", "Introduction to Sustainability," and "What's your consumption factor?"

Now, consider the following:

In light of Wilson's discussion of Americans' suspicion of government action which contradicts our appreciation for effective public policies that affect our everyday lives, consider a type of public policy Wilson defines and how it could be applied to reducing our consumption habits (that number 32!) while addressing the objectives outlined in "Our Common Future" (aka "what is sustainability") on the syllabus. For full credit cite all three texts directly - that is mention the authors' or title when referencing each. Be concise and specific.
