Consuming Responsibly: Exploring Environmentally Responsible Consumption Behaviors

Social campaigns to encourage responsible fashion consumption: qualitative study with university students

“…The last decades have been characterized by prominent research around environmental issues from the perspective of responsible consumption and variables that affect decisionmaking, pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors, among others (Marroquín & Palacios, 2018). So, it is possible to empower a generation of consumers with a higher level of responsibility for and awareness of the fulfillment of their needs through ecological and sustainable consumption, the purchase of eco-friendly goods and services and behaviors recycling and reuse practices, among others (Agrawal & Gupta, 2018;Hall, 2018). For this various ethical consumption strategies associated with lifestyles should be implemented (Papaoikonomou, 2013).…”

“…In recent decades, the environmental impact of consumption has resulted in a broad interdisciplinary field of study. It has focused mainly on pro-environmental behavior; reduce, reuse, recycle (the 3 R's), and donation practices (Bianchi & Birtwistle, 2012;Birtwistle & Moore, 2007;Morgan & Birtwistle, 2009); behaviors towards the purchase of eco-friendly products or specific resources (water, energy, among others); ecological consumer profiles (Agrawal & Gupta, 2018), and, more recently, the relationship between gender perspective and ecological/ responsible consumption (Marroquín et al, 2019;Piñeiro et al, 2014). Thus, the interest in consumption and human behavior towards it becomes relevant as every consumer's purchase can directly or indirectly affect their social, environmental, economic, and other contexts.…”

Υπεύθυνη Κατανάλωση: Μια Κεντρική Διάσταση Της Εκπαίδευσης Για Το Περιβάλλον Και Την Αειφορία

“…Η κατανάλωση είναι μια ευρύτερη διαδικασία αποφάσεων και ενεργειών που περιλαμβάνει, εκτός από την απόκτηση, τη χρήση και την τελική διάθεση των προϊόντων (Peattie & Collins, 2009). Από την καταγραφή των ερευνών για την περιβαλλοντικά υπεύθυνη κατανάλωση των Agrawal & Gupta (2018) μπορούμε να ξεχωρίσουμε ορισμένες πρακτικές και συμπεριφορές που απασχόλησαν τους ερευνητές τα τελευταία χρόνια: εξοικονόμηση ενέργειας και νερού στο νοικοκυριό, αγορά αντικειμένων με ελάχιστες ή καθόλου συσκευασίες, επισκευή αντικειμένων αντί για αγορά νέων, αγορά τοπικών, οργανικών, ανακυκλωμένων, επαναχρησιμοποιήσιμων και ηθικών προϊόντων, ανακύκλωση και δωρεά επίπλων και ρούχων, αγορά και πώληση μεταχειρισμένων προϊόντων, κομποστοποίηση, καλλιέργεια τροφίμων από τον ίδιο των καταναλωτή, πραγματοποίηση αγορών βάσει αναγκών, ανταλλαγή και διαμοιρασμός αγαθών και υπηρεσιών, είναι μερικά παραδείγματα υπεύθυνης κατανάλωσης.…”

Do Consumers Really Care about Aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility When Developing Attitudes toward a Brand?

“…When a consumer evaluates a brand for self-consumption, one can assume that their PCSR of the firm will influence their evaluation. Some research has suggested that consumers from both developing and developed countries are becoming increasingly interested in matters of responsible consumption and are thus increasingly receptive to responsible efforts by brands and companies (Agrawal & Gupta, 2018). However, despite efforts for the adoption of CSR policies by organizations, the literature suggests that customers are not equally attracted by the three aforementioned components and do not necessarily consider such efforts when evaluating brands for purchase (Currás-Pérez et al, 2018;Peloza & Shang, 2011).…”
