From The Daily Mail:
The amount of stuff Britain consumes has fallen by around a third in just over a decade as the world became increasingly digitised, new statistics have revealed.
The figures, from the Office of National Statistics (ONS), show that the average Britain used just over ten tonnes of stuff in 2013, compared to 15 tonnes of material in 2001. The measure, which includes food, fuels, metals and building materials, shows that Britain may have passed 'peak stuff', a term relating to how much material people use.
Just goes to show, doesn't it? I have no idea whether it really is true, but it seems perfectly plausible.
