importance.
3. What sustainable consumption is?
• Sustainable consumption is all about
‘doing more and better with less,’ through
reducing resource use, degradation and
pollution while increasing the quality of
life for all.
4. Why sustainable consumption?
• Save biodiversity
• Pollution and over-exploitation of the world’s
resources are increasingly compromising our
own wellbeing and quality of life.
• Reshape our future!
5. How to do it?
• Changing our current living standards requires
us to adopt innovative and creative solutions
on the way we use and dispose the products
and services we own and consume.
6. Market’s Failures
• Price
For example, fuel prices do not account for the
costs of climate change.
• Efficiency
Market sale disposable products which labeled
as practical lifestyle.

• Public awareness
This problem can be both from market and
government or people it self.
