Is conservatism being sustainable? Or is there something like sustainable consumption. Can’t we define a level of consumption as the grade for that lifestyle. And as consumption comes at the expense of energy, cant we term sustainable consumption as a kinetic state. And differing grades of lifestyle requiring different levels of energy. A high level of lifestyle perhaps requiring high level of energy. Well then how can it be sustainable if there is so much energy requirement. Let’s say we as beings also have energy and we could also be contributors to energy, then is lifestyle generating tools and service actually drawing energy from external sources and conserving our energy. Could we call it inertia. Now look at it from the other angle, the more we expend our human energy, the less we need external energy to support us, compare taking a car and walking. As human beings are we exploiting other energy resources, just coz they do not have an instantaneous way of retaliation? Is our definition of lifestyle topsy turvy?
