It'd be amazing if people, after realising it's a good idea, actually DID IT! So many people look to the UN as role models/leaders. I wish people would actually walk the talk or whatever the phrase is...

The report is called 'Assessing the Environmental Impacts of Consumption and Production.'

If you want to actually have a look at the whole report, you can get it from the UNEP, or to directly download the PDF of the entire thing, just click this:

Or there's a bunch of info at the UNEP site for the report - which includes a 2 page information flyer, it's here: http://www.unep.org/resourcepanel/
