AO1 Most ecologists reject materialism and consumerism. AO2 Most ecologists argue for a future economy which is not based on the wastefulness of consumerism and materialism and linking happiness to material wealth (Schumacher). [IJ] We can reach a verdict that this approach shows that ecologists largely agree on the type of future economy they wish to create. AO1 Most ecologists believe that there are limits to growth so there needs to be changes to patterns of growth and consumption. AO2 Most ecologists argue for a future economy based on the principle of sustainability. [IJ] We can conclude from this that ecologists largely agree on the type of future economy they wish to create. AO1 Deep greens and social ecology reject capitalism. AO2 Deep greens and social ecology argue for a future economy based on small scale production for use, organised at a local level using local resources and skills (Bookchin) (Schumacher). [IJ] We can form a judgement that deep greens and social ecology agree on the type of future economy they wish to create.

AO1 Ecologists support very different future economic systems. AO2 There is a wide disagreement between shallow greens who favour a capitalism that works within the limits of nature (Carson) and deep greens and social ecology who wish to replace capitalism. [IJ] We can conclude that ecologists do not agree on the type of future economy they wish to create. AO1 There are disagreements among ecologists over the nature of sustainability. AO2 There are wide disagreements over whether sustainability should be strong (deep greens and social ecology) or weak (shallow greens). [IJ] We can form a judgement that social ecologists do not agree on the type of future economy they wish to create. AO1 Deep greens argue for a future stand-still economy based on zero growth. AO2 Deep greens and social ecology reject economic growth and argue for a steady state future economic model which rejects traditional economics (Schumacher) whilst shallow greens argue for smarter but slower growth. [IJ] We can reach a verdict that the rejection of economic growth shows that ecologists do not agree on the type of future economy they wish to create.
