With growing awareness of unsustainable practices, communities are forcing businesses and governments to take serious steps towards sustainability. Microplastics enter the food chain and eventually reach humans. The threat of global warming and recurrent climate disasters necessitate immediate action. However, all governments and corporations rely on an 'increase in demand' as a growth metric, which prevents them from doing anything meaningful to ensure our planet's long-term viability. Against the above paradox, this article explores a compromise between sustainability, consumption, and economic growth. It is a theoretical framework for proposing a solution in which businesses can expand in tandem with our planet's long-term future or a glance through the areas where the Keynesian economy can coexist with environmentalists' concerns. The proposed framework claims significance in terms of practicality than the perfection of a solution.

The Australia, New Zealand and Oceania Research Association (ANZORA) organized its 9th conference under the title Oceania – Centre of the Pacific Rim. For the first time in the ANZORA's history, the whole organizing process was made with another partner, that is the Institute of Middle and Far East Studies at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. Therefore the place of the speeches was not anymore outside the University but within the main building – the Auditorium Maximum. Despite the fact that ANZORA is an independent association, most of its founders graduated the Jagiellonian University. In addition, Dr Dariusz Zdziech, author of the idea of gathering academics and enthusiasts of the Pacific in a formal association, works himself in the Institute of Middle and Far East Studies.
