We need sustainable consumption corridors to simultaneously pursue sustainability and social justice. Such corridors are defined by minimum consumption levels necessary to satisfy an individual’s needs (not wants!), as well as the maximum levels that respect the needs of others as well as the planetary boundaries. Within such corridors, individuals are free to design their lives according to their preferences.
