- Alex Robinson of Alnwick, Northumberland submitted a question to The Guardian asking whether consumer capitalism, at its current rate, will reach a point where there is literally no space left on Earth for all created goods.
- The Guardian invited readers to post answers in the comments or email them to nq@theguardian.com.
- The column's submission note stated a selection of submitted answers will be published the following Sunday.
Why it matters: The column will publish a selection of reader answers next Sunday, giving the speculative question visibility through The Guardian's platform — but no scientific finding, policy proposal, or market claim is at stake in this reader-submitted prompt.
