Help! Does anyone know the source of the often quoted "50Gt/y material footprint is the sustainable maximum"?

Another user here asked about this a while back but I don't think anyone found it.

@gerrymcgovern found this:

https://ayhoekstra.nl/pubs/Hoekstra-Wiedmann-2014-EnvironmentalFootprint.pdf

Which relies on this:

M. Dittrich, S. Giljum, S. Lutter, C. Polzin, “Green economies around the world? Implications of resource use for development and the environment”
(Sustainable Europe Research Institute, Vienna, Austria, 2012).

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/301790657_Green_economies_around_the_world_Implications_of_resource_use_for_development_and_the_environment/link/572895b508ae0acc4f497c9b/download

on page 37 they say:

"with regard to the environment, it could be argued that nature has limited resources, and therefore, global resource extraction should be frozen at the level of one base year, for example 1992, the year of the first Rio Summit at around
50 billion tonnes."

Is 50Gt really just a guess? Does it/should it include biomass, and sand and gravel?

The capitalist economy looks nothing like this. Under capital’s growth imperative, there is no horizon – no future point at which economists and politicians say we will have enough money or enough stuff. There is no end, in the double sense of the term: no maturity and no purpose. The unquestioned assumption is that growth can and should carry on for ever, for its own sake. #Degrowth #LessIsMore

The oneliner solution to end capitalism and have #degrowth is to democratically control currency prices and end banks. #LessIsMore

I've had an iPad for a couple years now. It's practically a dedicated Genshin gadget. Pretty sure I've never used the camera on the back, I mean, like ever. The screenside one yes, for zoomy zooming, but they could leave out that bulgy lump and who would even grumble?

Since the NFL season is wrapping up, I thought it was perfect time to take Twitter off my phone. NFL-twitter was really the only thing keeping me around. #LessIsMore

Heuristics are fast, frugal, and accurate strategies that enable rather than limit decision making under uncertainty.

Don’t avoid heuristics—learn how to use them.

Frohes Neues! Die grünen Piepmätze pfeifen es von den Dächern: 2023 muss das Jahr des Klimaschutzes werden! 🦜Happy New Year! Let’s be inspired by the energy of these parakeets in #Bruxelles and demand and promote fast and resolute action against climate change and inequity in 2023 #degrowth #lessismore #verkehrswende #autokorrektur #peoplenotprofit #halsbandsittiche #Brüssel

That reply hierarchy layout in Toot sure is something to behold though. Reminds me of a rainbow-colored subway map 🌈🚇 #LessIsMore

@ashleyspencer I feel you, multitasking can be tough! #onethingatatime #fullfocus Sometimes it's better to just focus on one thing at a time and get it done, instead of trying to juggle a million tasks and getting overwhelmed. #simplicityiskey #lessismore Embrace your need for single tasking and rock it! 💪 #singletaskingqueen #singletaskingking

What would you add to the Black Friday (not) shopping list?

I hate to admit it but I kinda enjoyed using Elementor this week. Shame I plan on ripping it out when I've redeveloped all the blocks. #wordpressdev #websitedevelopment #elementor #lessismore

Imagine: You have a little* #kitchen. Going for frugal and practical. ☝️ You're not much of a chef or cook but want to do some* cooking -- mostly for 1 or 2 pax, and rarely maybe for a party of 4 or 5 max.

Deciding what #cooking appliances to get:
1- or 2-burner electric stove, modest-sized oven, air fryer, rice cooker, toaster, oven toaster, etc. #food #baking #LessIsMore

Which is a better combo?

Or maybe share what setup you have and what appliances get used the most? 🙂

@kev no, as long as the tt-rss feed stays current.

Figured adding a line to an blogroll.opml file when adding the url to the blogroll.html would be simple and sure fire way to keep parity.

But, as you were, I don't think anyone is troubled by picking the individual feeds they want to follow. #LessIsMore
