本说明描述了一系列对社会、经济和环境相互作用的调查，以此作为避免不良结果和追求有希望结果的基础。首先，它报告了实证结果，表明布伦特兰报告的建议（该报告将“可持续发展”作为一项社会目标进行推广），与该文件的意图和主张相反，将在未来几十年内对环境施加越来越大的压力。根据这一结论，本说明认为：（1）生产设施中的技术选择和不同类型家庭的生活方式选择是实际上可以改变的两个领域。(2)如果我们能够为生活方式和技术的变化提供新的替代战略，所描述的分析框架可以用来检查可能的后果。提出了系统描述生活方式和生活方式选择的新概念和方法。
The note describes a line of inquiry into social, economic, and environmental interactions as a basis for avoiding undesirable outcomes and pursuing promising ones. First it reports empirical results suggesting that the recommendations of the Brundtland Report (which popularized ''sustainable development'' as a social objective), contrary to the document's intentions and claims, would put increasing pressure on the environment over the next several decades. Based on this conclusion, the note argues that: (1) The choice of technology in production facilities and the lifestyle choices of different kinds of households are two areas in which changes can actually be made. (2) If we are able to provide new alternative strategies for changes in lifestyles and technologies, the analytic framework that is described can be used to examine the likely consequences. New concepts and methods are proposed for the systematic description of lifestyles and lifestyle alternatives.
