“…Also, this paper underscores the preference of environmentally conscious e-consumers for sustainable practices, as evidenced by their increased valuation of factors such as product origin and delivery costs. This finding corroborates previous studies indicating that environmentally conscious consumers are more likely to favor brands and products that align with their values of sustainability and ethical responsibility [76][77][78]. The heightened importance placed on product origin reflects a desire for transparency and accountability in supply chains, indicating a growing awareness of the environmental and social impacts of consumer choices.…”

With the development of e-commerce in Poland, consumer awareness has evolved. Buyers not only compared prices and assessed the quality of products but also began to take into account the impact of their purchases on the environment, which was previously an overlooked aspect. This growing environmental awareness is part of a broader effort to address environmental issues and support practices that promote sustainability. Currently, there is a noticeable increase in ecological awareness among society, government bodies, and the scientific community, strengthening human interaction with the natural environment. The aim of this study was to examine changes in ecological awareness and ecological attitudes among Polish e-consumers over ten years and their impact on online shopping behavior. This study explored how the ecological attitudes of Polish e-consumers have evolved over the last decade and what impact these changes in environmental attitudes have had on the online purchasing behavior of these consumers. Longitudinal studies were used to enable the analysis of changes over time. The research technique was based on repeated measurements of the same phenomena and features, carried out on diverse research samples from the same population, using the same methods and tools. This study was conducted twice, in 2010 and 2020, on a sample of 1150 people in each of these years. This research employed an online survey questionnaire, which included scales for assessing the personality traits of e-consumers and the determinants of online shopping. A significant change was found in e-consumers’ attitudes towards the natural environment and their purchasing preferences. This change has had a clear impact on purchasing behavior, including an increase in the importance of convenience, access to detailed product information, and a wide range of products offered, reflecting more conscious and convenience-oriented consumer behavior.

“…By embracing these upgrades, households could experience a decrease in their overall energy consumption, thereby lessening their dependence on conventional energy sources. This shift towards energyefficient practices aligns with the overarching goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable energy usage within residential settings [100,101].…”

This manuscript explores the relationship between the economic awareness (as a part of energy awareness) of Polish households and their sustainable energy consumption practices. Sustainable consumption is measured by the frequency of behaviors such as turning off electrical devices when not in use, removing mobile device chargers from sockets, switching off lights when leaving a room, preferring showers over baths, using washing machines and dishwashers only when full, and purchasing energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs. Economic awareness is gauged through variables such as knowledge of electricity tariffs, understanding of electric bill components, awareness of electricity prices, exact knowledge of electricity expenses, electricity usage in kWh, knowledge of effective energy-saving methods, and familiarity with the energy efficiency classes of appliances and light bulbs. This study presents profiles of households with high and low economic awareness regarding their electricity expenditures and examines how these profiles differ in their sustainable energy consumption behaviors. This research is based on a survey of 1407 Polish households conducted online in 2023. Data collected from the survey were subjected to statistical analysis and are presented in tables and graphs. The findings are discussed in the context of the existing literature in the field, highlighting the implications of economic awareness on sustainable energy consumption practices. This research contributes to understanding how economic knowledge influences energy-saving behaviors among Polish households, providing insights for policymakers and energy conservation initiatives. One of the key findings of this paper is the significant association between economic awareness, energy-saving knowledge, and the adoption of sustainable energy consumption behaviors among Polish households. This study reveals that households with higher levels of economic awareness demonstrate a notably higher frequency of practices related to sustainable energy consumption compared to those with lower economic awareness. Similarly, households equipped with greater knowledge about energy-saving techniques exhibit a higher propensity to adopt energy-efficient behaviors. This underscores important roles of economic literacy and education in fostering behavioral changes towards more sustainable energy practices, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions and educational campaigns aimed at enhancing economic awareness and promoting energy-saving knowledge among consumers.
