"The industrial countries act as if there were several earths available. Thus, without a radical increase in resource produc9vity there will be no sustainable development."

§  Non-‐renewable material resources + renewable material resources + top soil erosion in agri-‐/silviculture

§  Holis9c, though rough indicator

§  Sufficient, input-‐based indicator although not addressing individual environmental problems Schmidt-‐Bleek 1993, Schmidt-‐Bleek 2009, Le*enmeier et al. 2009


•  Make notes of your points

•  Add the points up at the end

Answer to the following quesFons


•  < 20 km => 1 point

•  20 – 100 km => 3 pts.

•  100 – 500 km => 10 pts.

•  500 – 1000 km => 25 pts.

•  > 1000 km => 50 pts.

1. How may km/week you drive alone by car?


•  < 20 km => 0.5 points

•  20 – 100 km => 1.5 pts.

•  100 – 500 km => 4 pts.

•  500 – 1000 km => 10 pts.

•  > 1000 km => 20 pts.

2. How many km/week do you go by car together with others?


•  Add your points up

•  1 point = 1 tonne of material footprint

•  Whole lifestyle test:

Future Households: Smaller footprint, be4er life


Less car-‐driving by •  planning the household’s mobility •  car-‐sharing •  car-‐pooling •  be*er and more flexible public transport •  home delivery •  remote work •  moving to city centre

Households will not do it alone


Transport reducFon by crowdsourced deliveries – a library case in Finland

Paloheimo, Le*enmeier & Waris 2015, Journal of Cleaner Produc9on

18

Poten9al for reduc9on if applied to half of Finns’ shopping and library trips •  4% of material footprint for mobility •  1.7% of total material footprint •  Equals to total material footprint of 93,000 Finns


Future of mobility – closer – slower – smarter –

This will go a hundred 9mes faster!

Yeah -‐ in the wrong direc9on…
