Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La déconsommation prend alors tout son sens. Il s'agit de gommer les excès de la consommation et ses effets pervers. Étymologiquement, déconsommation signifie «consommer moins». Ce n'est pas rejeter cette finalité que d'expliquer autrement le processus de déconsommation. Il s'agit surtout de consommer [de façon] responsable [et] intelligente. Et au final, après avoir été responsable, on arrivera naturellement à un niveau de consommation en dessous des limites des ressources disponibles. Déconsommer, c'est consommer mieux pour consommer moins. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9consommation
