T1  - Consumption Corridors - Living a Good Life within Sustainable Limits
N2  - Consumption Corridors: Living a Good Life within Sustainable Limits 
explores how to enhance peoples’ chances to live a good life in a world of ecological and social limits. 
Rejecting familiar recitations of problems of ecological decline 
and planetary boundaries, this compact book instead offers a spirited explication of what everyone desires: a good life. Fundamental 
concepts of the good life are explained and explored, as are forces 
that threaten the good life for all. The remedy, says the book’s seven 
international authors, lies with the concept of consumption corridors, enabled by mechanisms of citizen engagement and deliberative 
democracy. 
Across fve concise chapters, readers are invited into conversation about how wellbeing can be enriched by social change that joins 
“needs satisfaction” with consumerist restraint, social justice, and 
environmental sustainability. In this endeavour, lower limits of consumption that ensure minimal needs satisfaction for all are important, and enjoy ample precedent. But upper limits to consumption, 
argue the authors, are equally essential, and attainable, especially in those domains where limits enhance rather than undermine essential 
freedoms.

T1  - Power: the missing element in sustainable consumption and absolute reductions research and action
JF  - Journal of Cleaner Production
N2  - In this essay, we aim to demonstrate the value of a power lens on consumption and absolute reductions. Specifically, we illuminate what we perceive to be a troublesome pattern of neglect of questions of power in research and action on sustainable consumption and absolute reductions. In pursuit of our objectives, we delineate how many of the informal and implicit “theories of social change” of scholars and activists in sustainable consumption and sustainable development fail to address power in a sufficiently explicit, comprehensive and differentiated manner and how that failure translates into insufficient understandings of the drivers of consumption and the potential for and barriers to absolute reductions. Second, we develop the contours of a power lens on sustainable consumption. Third, we illustrate the value of such a power lens, with a particular focus on the case of meat consumption.
