>From the International Forum on Globalization

So, those limitless supplies turned out not to be limitless, or cheap (or any
longer efficient), and we are left with only one real option: to face the
need for a thorough systemic transformation of our entire society to one that
emphasizes less consumption of material resources and energy (conservation),
less globalization (shipping resources and products back and forth wastefully
across oceans and continents), and more localization which has inherent
efficiencies and savings from the mere fact of local production and use, and
far less processing and shipping.
