Green consumerism refers to a state in which consumers demand products and services that have undergone an eco-friendly production process or one that involves recycling and safeguarding the planet’s resources.
In other words, green consumerism entails the production, promotion, and advancement of the utilization or use of goods and services based on their pro-environment benefits. - Research: Consumers’ Sustainability Demands Are Rising - Harvard Business ReviewThree factors are driving us toward a major shift in consumption patterns where consumers will consider sustainability as a baseline requirement for purchase: 1) Trust drives behavior and, ultimately, business outcomes; 2) Sustainability promotes trust, particularly among younger generations; and 3) Younger generations will soon have most of the purchasing power in the U.S. Companies that understand these trends — and create truly sustainable brands that make good on their promises to people and the planet — will seize advantage from brands that make flimsy claims or have not invested sufficiently in sustainability.

There are many mandatory and preferred areas of consumption. While the phenomenon of consumption is sometimes used for the purpose of meeting physical needs such as eating, drinking and housing, sometimes, it can manifest itself as fun or leisure activities. Therefore, people need to consume constantly to maintain their biological existence and their psycho-social development successfully. - What does the Catholic Church teach about caring for the environment?CITEMAKER > Automatically Generate Citations > Website URL or DOI > CHECK CHECK CHECK
