“…As our research found that seniors with more of a FTP report performing more sustainable behaviours and the literature notes that those with a FTP focus on more knowledge-oriented goals (Carstensen et al 1999), we offer the following recommendations for public policymakers. We recommend that consumer policy empowers people so they can make informed choices (Austgulen 2014(Austgulen , 2016Gandenberger et al 2011;Hansen and Schrader 1997;Thøgersen 2005) that will inevitably lead to them increasing their sustainable behaviours, so it becomes a natural part of their daily lives. Given the size and scope of the senior market Anderson 2014, we offer that this knowledge to empower seniors with how to be more sustainable is even more critical.…”

The Impact of Future Time Perspective and Personality on the Sustainable Behaviours of Seniors

This study examined a national sample of American seniors to determine the influence of future time perspective (FTP) and personality traits on their sustainable behaviours. Based on a sample of 520 seniors, the study found a significant positive relationship between FTP and sustainable behaviours. FTP fully mediates the impact of the conscientiousness personality trait on sustainable behaviours and partially mediates the impact of the openness and agreeableness personality traits on seniors' sustainable behaviours. The results contribute to the extant literature by explaining that the three personality traits influence sustainable behaviours through seniors' future time perspective. The results suggested the need for policy to focus on seniors' future time perspective and to prioritise more conscientious, open, and agreeable personality traits when encouraging American seniors to adopt sustainable behaviours.

“…While the other 77.9% of PEB is influenced by other factors in the form of external factors and other internal factors. External factors that can affect PEB such as sociocultural and economic factors (Akenji, 2014;Austgulen, 2016;Haanpää, 2007). If environmental norms in community groups are upheld, then the community will be more environmentally friendly.…”

Environmental responsibility is a crucial aspect which determines the environmental solving problems in term of enhancing the pro-environmental behavior. This study aimed to examine the relation between the environmental responsibility and pro-environmental behavior of the undergraduate students. The sampel of this descriptive correlational study was 106 students of biolgy education department which was taken randomly. This study showed that the undergraduate students were in high criteria of environment responsibility (ER). This was represented by feeling guilty which was the highest percentage and followed by responsibility feeling and responsibility judgment respectively. In addition, the undergraduate students were in positive pro-environmental behavior (PEB). The regression model was y = 23.876 + 0.623x; while ER contributed as high as 22.1% to the undergraduate student’s PEB. This implied that to improve the undergraduate student’s PEB is by strengthening their ER.

“…Eco-labels such as health, environmental, organic and social labels help consumers identify a sustainably made product [95]. One of the obvious research gaps is the practice of eco-labeling for textiles and apparel products, although its wide application is found in other sectors such as the food and mosaic industries [101]. These practices govern consumers' purchase decision making [102].…”

Sustainability Assessment of Cotton-Based Textile Wet Processing

et al. 2019

The textile and fashion industries account for a significant part of global business. Textile wet processing (TWP) is a crucial stage in textile manufacturing. It imparts aesthetics as well as functional appeal on the textile fabric and ultimate products. Nevertheless, it is considered as one of the most polluting industries and threatens sustainability. There have been different approaches to transform this polluting industry to a sustainable industry. Many researchers have found this challenging, as sustainable, eco-friendly, green or cleaner wet processing might not be always applicable and relevant from the perspective of industrial applications. The present work helps us understand the current state of research of cotton-based textile processes including proposed sustainable approaches. It also examines the achievement of the degree of sustainability of those proposed processes with the lens of the triple bottom line (TBL) framework, identifies existing limitations, and suggests future research scopes that might pave ways for young researchers to learn and undertake new experimental and theoretical research.
