Abstract

Climate change kills millions from drought, flooding, famine, and disease and exacerbates prenatal and perinatal mortality in poor countries. "Throwaway culture" and "compulsive consumerism", as Pope Francis puts it, drive energy and resource consumption that contributes to climate change through carbon emissions, pollution, and deforestation. By reducing consumption to help mitigate climate change and conserve resources, we help not only the poor but also future generations. [Extracted from the article]
