Intra-generational equity is the principle of equity between different groups of people alive today. Similarly to inter-generational equity, intra-generational equity implies that consumption and production in one community should not undermine the ecological, social, and economic basis for other communities to maintain or improve their quality of life.

The UN through the Berkeley city government is using US taxpayer dollars to brainwash the citizens into following UN proscribed behaviors (as mentionedy by Tom DeWeese).

Title Berkeley's "Precycling" Campaign
Country United States
Type of Instrument Public Information Campaigns
Sector Manufacturing Industry

Name of Agency City of Berkeley

Type of Agency Municipal

Sustainable Production and Consumption Objective --
The objective is to provide consumers(general public)with information about recommendations on how effective waste reduction strategies can be implemented. Recommendations can include information on purchasing changes and behavioral changes.

Target Groups
Residential sector(i.e. the general public)


City officials in Berkeley, California developed the term "precycle", which means making purchasing decisions that will have less harmful impacts on the environment. The precycling term is now being used by several other communities, such as Greenwich, Connecticut.

Berkeley's precycling campaign consists of store posters, buttons, and pamphlets with the slogan: "Precycle. Do it right from the start!" The pamphlets give advice to consumers on how to make less wasteful purchasing decisions.

The suggestions include:
* Select products carefully and try to buy those that can be reused and have the least packaging.
*Avoid disposables, such as razors lighters, and plastic plates.
*Buy in bulk to avoid overpackaging and save money: keep perishability in mind to avoid product spoilage.
*Buy durable, long-wearing products, such as premium tires. Use Consumer Reports and other consumer publications to research long-lasting products.
