    The main objective of the Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations is to eliminate poverty by means other than economic growth alone. The Global Hectare measures both the earth's biocapacity and human demand on natural resources. While growth has traditionally been seen as the means to reduce poverty, it has not effectively done so. The earth can only sustainably support 1.9 global hectares of resource use per person per year. Excessive consumption, especially in wealthy countries, puts both society and the planet at risk by depleting natural resources and destabilizing the environment. Each person should aim to consume no more than 1.8 global hectares annually based on available global resources to live sustainably.

    these disagreements, I remain of the opinion that, if sufficient information is disseminated, we can still
    come to terms with the idea of de-development and accept its benefits for all of us, our environment, and
    especially our natural environment. Even if we cut back on our consumption, we can still improve our lives
    and incorporate quality into them.
