I reckon its a bit deeper than this.
Unless we can somehow develop an economic model that doesnt rely on constant growth for its existence, no amount of cutting back will help.
I find it interesting to see how all the financial/economic wizards say we have to get bigger to be efficient, but "most" of the time this happens, it becomes more cumbersome, impersonal and ends up costing us more???
However, i think all that will pale into insignificance when compared to the accelerating effects of pure population growth, and its requirements for power/food/cars/idevices :-) .
That will swamp any gains we make by switching off a few lights in Oz.
Dunno the answer to that one either.
