The regeneration capacity of the planet has been gradually reduced over the years, even with the increase in renewable energy sources. The process of globalization of consumption may be one of the causes of this degradation, and consumption for only a certain group of people may be one of the causes of increased poverty and the non-fulfillment of their basic needs. In the 1970s and 1980s, several authors indicated the potential environmental and production problems that humanity would face in the coming decades. Today it is possible to perceive in a concrete way the climate changes and the modifications in the production chains. Considering that the individual consumerist lifestyle has been one of the main causes of the increase in consumption, we will study an intentional community of people who live and work together, located in the city of Curitiba in Paraná. The goal is to compare the consumption and production of this social arrangement with or others that exist. A methodology will be used the POF to quantify consumption and the PAIS to understand the aspects related to the quality of life in this mode. The community arrangement enables local production in a way that ensures the self-support of the community and generates short logistics cycles. These cycles are both for product distribution and organic waste collection that ensure local food production. Sharing housing, community productive arrangements, and waste treatment are actions that reduce the environmental impact and ensure greater economic circularity.
