It is necessary to vindicate, in parallel, the leisure against the obsessive work, since there is to postulate the distribution of the work, an old union practice that, unfortunately, was falling in forgetfulness. Other inescapable exigencies speak to us of the necessity to reduce the dimensions of productive, administrative infrastructures and of transport, and to prioritize the premises against global in a scene marked by the sobriety and the voluntary simplicity. First that the opulent societies must consider is the convenience of closing or to reduce the activity of the war industry, the automobile one, in the one of aviation and mainly the one of the construction. Campbell Soup Company describes an additional similar source. The million workers who lost their uses would have to find arrangement through two great channels. First it would contribute the development to it of activities in the scopes related to the satisfaction of the social and environmental needs; the second would arrive from the distribution of the work in the traditional economic sectors that would survive. It matters to emphasize that in this case the reduction of the labor day good could take prepared wage reductions, as long as these were not it in benefit of the enterprise benefits. After all, gain of standard of life that would be derived to work less and to enjoy better social services. There would be cleaner surroundings and less aggressive than it would be added to the derived one from the total assumption of the convenience of consuming less with the consequent reduction of needs in which to income one talks about.

It is not precise to add that the wage reductions that occupy to us would not affect to those who less they have. The decrease would not imply, for the majority of the inhabitants, a deterioration of its conditions of life. Rather, it must carry substantial improvements like the tie ones with the redistribution of the resources, the creation of new sectors, the preservation of the environment, the well-being of the future generations, the health of the citizens, the conditions of the work employee or the relational growth in societies in which the working time will be reduced noticeably. And it is that there is to start off of the certainty that, if we do not decrease voluntarily and rationally, we will have to do forced it as a result of the collapse, sooner or later, of economic and social injustice that we suffer.

Live the crisis of shortage (for pollution) of the air and water, of scarcity (limits) of minerals and energy, loss of soils (boundaries) that need a time, no minimum, geomorphological (geological), to form, elements (air, water, fire, Earth) that were given and which Western and westernized culture estimated to be able to ignore. The greenhouse effect, the hole in the ozone layer, global climate change, toxic waste, in addition to the garbage that we ourselves generate daily, are the clearest signs of these limits imposed on a global scale. It is not a culture or people who endanger their very existence. The globalization of rationality, driven by the economic logic, leads inexorably to an economy that ignores that it is embedded in the ground, in the air, in the water, on the ground, in the subsoil (minerals), in the life cycles of food chains of carbon, oxygen all humanity, in an unequal manner, is subject to the risks arising from actions decided by some for the benefit of some. The struggle for the appropriation of biodiversity, for the enjoyment of its benefits has clearly pointed out the interests between Nations. The rationality of the market and sustainable development is evident in the re-appropriation to maintain, increase and enjoy greater worldly goods biological and Cultural diversity. Being biodiversity understood as the sum total of living beings that exist on Earth, the result of millions of years of evolution.

Where the human species and their cultures have emerged from its adaptations of his knowledge of their use. Biodiversity has two inseparable dimensions; the biological and cultural. Therefore a property of cultural and living beings which makes them unique and different. 50 To 80% of the world’s biodiversity is located in tropical countries, (Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Zaire, Madagascar and Indonesia), those who have suffered in the past 100 years, immense losses of tropical rainforests and the disappearance of its indigenous population to the rhythm of a tribe each year.
