“…dividend (Ericson et al 2014;Dhandra 2019). The message is that 'if the positive effects prove large enough, this could be promoted as a public policy, not only because of sustainability issues, but also because of its effects on well-being and prosocial behaviour' (Ericson et al 2014, p. 77).…”

The ecological crisis demands new strategies to rapidly transform our society into a more sustainable one. A growing amount of research points towards the potential of mindfulness to help transform people's motivations for sustainability. This article reviews 30 years of research in mindfulness and sustainability and disentangles theoretical knowledge from empirical evidence. We identified six leading theoretical links between mindfulness and sustainability which find backing in empirical work: reduced automaticity, enhanced health and subjective well-being, greater connectedness with nature, improved pro-sociality, recognition of intrinsic values and openness to new experiences. Many of the studies involve considerable methodological caveats, most importantly a lack of mindfulness practice indicators and environmental impact measures. To reach the point where policy makers could embrace mindfulness-based policies to promote societal well-being and sustainability, the research must go beyond the present focus on correlative research. The proof of causality posits the greatest challenge for the next decade of research. Inspired by principles from policy evaluation, we propose a research agenda that offers direction for collaborative efforts and innovative interdisciplinary study designs in a logical model: (how) does the practice of mindfulness contribute to individual behaviour change and (how) does this individual change translate into societal change?

“…Research on sustainable consumption also highlights the importance of factors such as: education and consumer age (Diamantopoulos et al, 2003;Olano et al, 2015), life satisfaction (Nassani et al, 2013;Dhandra, 2019), how to deal with negative wellbeing and a change in the attitudes of the producers themselves (Mannberg et al, 2014, Lehner et al, 2016. One can also find the view that organic food does not contribute so much to more sustainable consumption (Vittersø and Tangeland, 2015).…”

“…Neste cenário, fica evidente que a prática da questão ambiental é um fator primordial na decisão de compra dos consumidores, e isso tem gerado uma grande expansão de produtos verdes em diversos países, acompanhado de várias oportunidades de negócios geradas com o uso do marketing voltado ao consumidor desses produtos (DIAMANTOPOULOS et al, 2003). O marketing verde é um conjunto de políticas e estratégias de comunicação que visam à obtenção da vantagem comparativa de diferenciação para os produtos ou serviços que oferece a organização em relação às marcas concorrentes, consolidando seu posicionamento competitivo (DIAS, 2008;DANGELICO;VOCALELLI, 2017). A prática do marketing verde significa divulgar uma preocupação ambiental com as fontes de entrada e saída na fabricação de um produto ou na prestação de um serviço (WALKER; HANSON, 1998).…”

“…Os resultados da pesquisa evidenciam uma intensidade moderada (43,7%) do marketing verde no consumo sustentável no RN. Estes achados denotam que o marketing verde contribui para comportamentos sustentáveis, pois evidencia-se que os consumidores percebem a problemática ambiental e visam um consumo consciente, o que corrobora os pressupostos de Ladhari (2007), posto que ocorre impacto das emoções sobre a satisfação, podendo ser inerente a diferentes percepções de satisfação, confiança e compromisso (SCHOEFER; DIAMANTOPOULOS, 2009), de forma que as emoções geram impacto positivo no consumo sustentável (SHETH;MITTAL;NEWMAN, 2001;DAS;VARSHNEYA, 2017;DONG et al, 2018). Não se deve esgotar, entretanto, os esforços do governo, das empresas, das instituições de ensino e da sociedade para a divulgação da problemática ambiental que se encontra generalizada, cabendo a todos os cidadãos a consciência de preservação dos recursos naturais, a diminuição do impacto ambiental e a atitude-comportamento, visando a um consumo sustentável.…”
