This question has been debated for a long time within environmental science circles and can, with regard to at least some environmental problems, be answered in the affirmative today.

Sufficiency has to become an issue on a political level, too. There are, however, doubts about the possibility of reducing consumption by means of politics in a liberal state because of the potential restrictions to freedom involved.
