first days of human habitation and human effort to control the planets natural resources for its own purposes. The past several decades have shown that there is considerable evidence that
science and technology can create more efficient ways to coexist with nature and actually reduce environmental degradation. For example, the shift from carbon-based energy to atom-based energy has resulted in
less pollution. Similar efficiencies have been made in agriculture, water and materials. Perhaps of even greater importance is the fact that there has also been a shift in cultural values
worldwide that could assist in the development of a new age of respect for the environment. As attitudes change, technology will change to meet demands for a better, less destructive
relationship between humankind and the planet. Human Consumption and "Social Construction" The concept of "social construction" is used to define how much the
general public values something and how it then designates a proportion of its assets or potential assets to care for or support that thing. For example, political power is a
determining factor in allocation, as is economic status and availability of natural resources. A statement from The Royal Society and the National Academy of Sciences on Sustainable Consumption (1997) makes
a valuable point in linking consumption, population growth, and the impact of the two on the Earth and all of its species. In the statement, the two scientific academies of
the UK and the US assert: "... what matters is not only population numbers but how poor or affluent people are: We must tackle population and consumption together" (p. 683).
Any and every environment can support only a certain level of load placed upon it by its varied inhabitants. The load
