  1. Woman made climate change is caused by overconsumption. When you buy something it creates economic demand to create that thing you bought. Oil is used to gather the raw goods, then to transport them to a factory, then to manufacture them into a product, then to ship them to you. There is a whole lot more oil used within that chain going from this place to that place along the steps of manufacturing. Women make up 80 to 85% of the consumer market. Society is built around supplying women with what they consume, and the women are overconsuming. It may be rather obvious that the speaker overconsumes, but also having a dozen pairs of shoes is unnecessary and is overconsumption. If society wants to fight climate change, than it needs to embrace minimalism. This starts with stopping people from overconsuming. But make no mistake, women will be most effected. They are the privileged over-consumers.

  3.  Josef K  "Why She Buys: The New Strategy for Reaching the World's Most Powerful Consumers" - by Bridget Brennan. You can purchase an electronic copy on Amazon and save the paper. And yes, I did put the source behind a paywall on purpose. If you want me to do your research for you, you have to pay for it.
