To give up consuming our entire income today means putting ourselves in a position to reach a more valuable goal tomorrow. But it is in the acquisition of this intertemporal perspective that one encounters the greatest difficulty: several studies, in fact, have shown that the prevailing tendency is to privilege the present [1] at the expense of the future. The same type of distortion can be found in the choices regarding the use of natural resources: sustainable management should be based on a long-term logic and also look at future needs.
