The Huron Expositor, 1978-06-15, Page 26 THE HURON EgROSIT R JUNE 1.5, 1078 6A — of The traditional North American lifestyle geared to ever increasing consumption has lost much of its glamour. Alternative lifestyles adapted- to a conserver society have become a provocative . sub- ject • for discussion. and part- icularly so among faculty memo-. ers of the Department of Con- sumer Studies. at the University of Guelph. They are exploring alternative lifestyles that will. permit a more harmonious relationship with this planet. Such lifestyles would allow us to enjoy the benefits and comforts of a, n industrialized society. while at the same time safeguarding the environment and conserving nowrenewable resources. '"The Conserver Society: Many Challengers," is the title of the first in a series of "FACS" sheets published by the College of Family and Consumer Studies at the University of Guelph. It describes futtire scenarios and suggests ways to increase aware- ness on conserver issues. change consumer behavior and .im- plement conserver practices. • A conserver society would evolve from a more ecologic:ally Balancicrdiet isn't'expensive to • 4p -V --"%* • Notice is hereby given that the Annual Meeting of SEAFORTH- COMMUNITY 43.

Others see .a con- server society as a socially desirable alternatiye to unquest- ioned economic growth' and ever- increasing consupiptiOn,., "Conserver attitudes and strategies could enhance our lives by bringing. us closer to natureano ourselves," claims 'Professor ,. Richard Vosbargh, chairman of the 'department of ^consumer studies at the University of, Guelph. "We could reduce. out dependence on , complex technologies," Somewhere down the road we will run out of"-same nonrenew- able resources. Professor Louise Heslop describes two reactions to this inevitability. One is to recognize that the supply Of resources is finite and that we are using' them at an alarming rate. Adopting conserver practices now will postpone the, day, of reckon- ing. The other approach. assumes • that a technological development , will intervene in- time to keep our fuel-intensive lifestyles-intact be- fore the fuel runs out,„"liplying on a technological fix is like whistling in the dark" she says. "If technology doesn't save' us. then 'we are suddenly faced with exhaustion of fossil fuel supplies." - "It's impossible to convince the man at the bottom of the economic ladder that. h e should adopt conserver attitudes and do more with less,• points out Professor John Auld. "If we can 'show him that conserving saves money, he might tty. it,"7 "We not only have to 'bring about ' a change ',in -consumer attitudes:: notes Prof. Heslop. "but, create a framework in which conserver practices are convenient and rewarded. We -have to provide theincentive for' both business • and consumers." Consumer education will play a crucial role in bringing 'about conserver attitudes and practices. "We have to provide the concern- ed consumer with enough ac- curate information to make an informed ' decision." ventures, Prof. Vosburgh. A more forcefur technique is through legislation. In reality, a combination of strategies may be 'peces.sary in order to. exert enotigh, of an impact.. "We (ion know enough about how' consumers make decisions to be able to bring about a wide- scale change in behaviour," claims Prof. Heslop. Her iesearch will provide some of this basic knowledge. She is trying to determine the degree, of choice necessary for' consumer satisfact- ion and 'how consumers, function in a restricted choice situation. ';We also need to .know about e011S1.1.111C "motivation." she con- tinues. "What could trigger ui change in thinking about many,. things? , This will require a concerted effort by governments. cons m e organizations. ' in; dividuals and business." Speculation about a .eonserver.. society is futuristic • thinking, `loch' isboth stimulating and frust a Ong . Moving from con- sumption oriented society to a - conserver society will involve. sonic inevitable -problems, tough decisions and temporary slips in , oile..'"Ittiditional measures of economic success. Research, planning, discussion and creative • thinking. should 'focus on long-term conserver policies now while there is still time left for alternatives, say the University of. Guelph Faculty members.
