“…Thus, the issue of preserving our environment has caused consumers to rethink their choice of products and for the protection of the environment, many consumers are ready to pay higher prices for products that comply with environmental standards (Newton et al, 2015). The impact of this is seen when companies and organizations are turning more towards environmentfriendly products (Finisterra et al, 2009).…”

“…In spite of having knowledge of how to protect the environment, young consumers show little inclination to the real pro-environmental behavior. Reference [17] shows similar applications where high knowledge does not translate into positive attitudes towards recycling, resource conservation, buying green products, involvement in environmental actions and willingness to pay a higher price.…”

“…The main predictors of environmental behavior are knowledge, values, ecological attitudes and readiness for behavior [17]. Results of other studies show that collectivism, perceived consumer effectiveness, eco-literacy, and environmental concern are socio-psychological factors that have an impact on attitudes and purchasing decisions of environmentally friendly products [18].…”

Abstract-The purpose of the study was to answer the question to what extend young consumers behave environmentally responsible and what factors hinder and limit their environmental behaviors. The study included 342 students of the Rzeszów University of Technology. The direct survey method was applied. The study was conducted in January 2015. The results of the study showed that consumers had a positive attitude to environmental aspects, but a lot of inconsistencies in their statements could be noticed. On the one hand, they positively connote environmental issues and declare the possession of knowledge, and on the other hand, they use disposable plastic bags and save detergents weakly. A relatively small group of respondents declared buying organic products in their families. Laziness, lack of willingness to change existing habits and preference of values such as convenience, comfort, pleasure and aesthetics are the basic demotivators of ecological behavior of consumers. Consumers do not believe that their individual actions can improve the environment and they shift the responsibility to others.

“…In the last two decades, concern for the environment has become more common as concepts such as global warming, acid rain, and deforestation have raised consumer awareness of the need to make environmental responsible decisions (Finisterra do Paco, Raposo, & Filho, 2009;Manaktola & Jauhari, 2007). While early research indicated that consumers with green intentions would be unwilling to pay a premium for environmentally related products (Nakardo, 1996;Wiser, 1998), more recent evidence suggests that certain products and services with sound environmental credentials are more popular amongst consumers and are likely to attract premium purchasing behavior (Rodriguez-Ibeas, 2006;Rowlands, Parker, & Scott, 2002).…”

In the past decade, awareness of environmental issues has increased tremendously and organizations are increasingly looking at ways of becoming more environmentally responsible and responsive. However, to date, progress on environmental issues has predominantly taken place in the scientific and engineering fields, with less emphasis on green issues in the management disciplines. This article issues a call for greater attention to environmental issues in all areas of management and as a starting point sets down eight ideas for engaging organizations in environmental change. These ideas include the development of green management modules, establishment of a green contract, environmental scenario planning, environmental auditing, green product redesign, environmental labeling, corporate consciousness, and environmental outreach. Following the discussion of each idea, some examples are provided looking at the concept in practice. The article concludes by encouraging the field of HRD to take a greater role in promoting environmental change in organizations. It argues that HRD practitioners can play an important role in reminding organizations of their social and moral responsibilities and fostering environmentally responsive innovation and change.
