Abstract
The European Water Charter, proclaimed by the Council of Europe in Strasbourg on May 6, 1968, was a statement of principles for proper water management in which it was stated that “freshwater resources are not inexhaustible” [1]. To speak of Responsible Consumption is to address the problem of hyper-consumerism in developed societies and powerful groups in any society, which continue to grow as if capacities were infinite. To this end, at the Johannesburg summit in 2002 [2], the following was pointed out: “15% of the population living in high-income countries are responsible for 56% of the world’s total consumption, while the poorest 40% in low-income countries are responsible for only 11% of consumption”. On the other hand, the Royal Society’s report of 2000 [3] noted that current consumption trends are unsustainable, that there is a real need to reduce consumption and that “to preserve human well-being in the long term, people need to move towards new ways of meeting human needs, adopting patterns of consumption and production that maintain the Earth’s life-support systems”. It is therefore necessary to apply the three R’s rule: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
