Dear colleagues,
The Journal of Industrial Ecology has recently published a special
issue on Consumption and Industrial Ecology. The entire
special issue is available on the web at
<
http://mitpress.mit.edu/JIE/consumption> at no charge. The
Journal of Industrial Ecology is a peer-reviewed international
quarterly published by MIT Press, owned by Yale University, and
headquartered at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental
Studies.
This issue breaks new ground in providing systematic and quantitative
assessments of the impact of consumption--what we buy and what we use--on
the environment. The articles in the special issue address the
relationship between consumption and
- diet change
- time use
- U.S. house size
- worktime reduction
- product life spans
- quality of life
- NGO advocacy strategies
- the rebound effect
as well as the environmental impact of consumption at the household,
city, and national levels in countries around the world.
Support for the special issue was provided by the Garfield Foundation and
the United Nations Environment Programme, Division of Technology,
Industry, and Economics.
[please excuse any cross-postings, but do forward this announcement
to others that might be interested]
Sincerely,
Cheryl Myrup
Assistant Editor,
