translate English to French: If this is the case, how can we explain the fact that increased production and increased consumption have eaten up all the environmental initiatives which we have so far carried out and are carrying out?
Mais comment se fait-il que l'accroissement de la production et de la consommation aient "avalé" tous les efforts environnementaux que nous avons fournis jusqu'ici et ceux que nous fournissons maintenant ?
