"Response to Juliet Schor" Taylor

Taylor's "Response to Juliet Schor" brings some good ideas past what Juliet Schor states. I like how she thinks past just saying "what we are doing is bad". She really agrees with the ideals Schor puts out there. I think in agreeing, Taylor feels she needs to respond to Schor. I feel Taylor is patient in conveying her thoughts. She moves through Schors' ideas one by one and kind of praises each one as a good thought. She quotes Schor in "pointing to the other hidden costs of excessive consumerism", and she agrees and goes through in saying "we use twice as much energy and generate more than twice as much garbage as the average European". Taylor typically moves through this essay in this fashion.
