Consumption and Green Consumers

Consumption refers to the rate and way that humans use both material and energy (natural resources). Many economists extend consumption to mean all material goods and services for the gratification of human desires. In sustainability, economists look for ways to reuse or recycle after use by humans; this is not a central concern of other economists. Nor are issues of "externalities" (environmental impacts that cost society), nor natural resource and manufacturing efficiencies. In general, citizens in developed countries are extravagant consumers and their use of resources is greatly out of proportion to their numbers. Sustainability tries to redress externality, efficiency, materials choice, inequitable use issues, and unfair labor practices. Green consumers try to purchase products that have been processed with a strong sense of environmental and social accountability. These include: ecologically harmless, no harmful additives, no irradiation of foods, high transparency in manufacturing process, honest labeling, fairness to employees, no sex discrimination, and high quality product assurance.
