Also, a new model of economic decline and consumption reduction, structured in the Quechua concept of Good Life or sumak kawsay, which refers to the balance generated by leading a dignified life, which is reflected when it's time to satisfy the basic needs of measured rational consumption and the awareness of the care of the planet, to mitigate damage to the ecosystem as a founding alternative from the perspective of global bioethics.
