WEIRD lifestyles: the link between education, professional attainment, and further compensation and subsequent consumption checks out. There are many reasons why emissions in poorer regions are so low, but the question of whether we should raise everyone to a WEIRD standard is not an easy one.

Is this net or gross consumption? I wonder what the data looks like relating educational attainment to reducing/reusing/recycling.

College educated types with houses that are way too big and daily commutes that are way too long. And then you gotta fill the way too big house with all that stuff?
