The author warns against the environmental impact of consumption. He mentions a report by Klaus Toepfer, head of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which states that China will require 200 million cars if it follows the consumption habits of people in developed countries like the U.S. He states that people are using natural resources at a dramatic rate. He illustrates this point by citing water shortage issues in the Middle East and Vancouver, British Columbia.
