“Young people around the world are well aware of environmental challenges, but the connection between such challenges and their lifestyles is not clear to them. There is a great need to translate these challenges into actions and opportunities at the local and individual level, as well as to create a holistic and pragmatic vision of what a sustainable society is.” — Fabienne Pierre, Programme Officer, UNEP “A big shift from the 20th century hyper-consumption, to a 21st-century age of collaborative consumption is under way. The convergence of social technologies, a renewed belief in the importance of community, pressing environmental concerns, and cost consciousness are moving us away from the old forms of consumerism toward one of sharing, aggregation, openness, and cooperation.” — Rachel Botsman, Author and Founder, Collaborative Consumption, SPREAD project advisor
