Fairness, Not Sacrifice
• The conventional distinctions between North and South are diplomatic
artifacts. The real global divide runs through each society-between the
globalized rich and the localized poor.
• Excessive use of environmental space withdraws resources from the
world's marginalized majority. Fairness demands reducing the ecological
footprint of the consumer classes in North and South.
• Poverty is a lack of power rather than of money. Reinforcing rights
of the poor is the condition of poverty removal.
• Leapfrogging into the solar age is a chance to turn "underdevelopment"
into a blessing. A solar economy holds the prospect for including people
and saving resources.
• Poverty talk is common, wealth is taboo. Will the well-off be able
to live without the surplus of environmental space they occupy today?
