Species loss, habitat loss, climate change are all driven by the same broken patterns of consumption and production.

物种丧失、栖息地丧失、气候变化都是由同样破碎的消费和生产模式驱动的。

In times of economic woe, when normal patterns of consumption and investment are frozen, prodigal government spending can sometimes be the only way to break the vicious circle of declining demand and shrinking employment.

在经济困难时期，常规的消费和投资模式会陷入僵局，慷慨的政府开支有时候可能是打破需求下滑、失业率上升这个恶性循环的唯一途径。
