| Abstract: | The ecological requirements to drastically increase the productivity of materials use call for improvements in the efficiency of consumption. Contemporary consumption serves many needs that are not functional and universal, but subjective and obscured from the producers. This paper develops a time use approach towards consumption, which makes allowance for the subjectivity of needs, while still enabling the analysts to approach the concept of a sustainable lifestyle. |
