Conscious Consumers for Environmental Sustainability


Sustainable Consumption is important for us, for our future. Because we are human kind and we are not going to live forever. We need save this planet to our generation, the natural resources, water and the air, the elements of live.
The definition proposed by the 1994 Oslo Symposium on Sustainable Consumption defines it as "the use of services and related products which respond to basic needs and bring a better quality of life while minimizing the use of natural resources and toxic materials as well as emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle of the service or product so as not to jeopardize the needs of future generations
Because of that, we do need sustainable consumption and being green is not an option, its necessity. In my opinion sustainable consumption is not only an important issue for developing countries but also advance countries. We can’t say that because of the advance countries don’t care about environment, they keep grow up, the manufactory and vehicles keep produce the pollution, the people don’t pay attention about sustainable consumption, so we can blame it to them, or we can’t say that because of developing countries don’t know about this issue, the people don’t know how to manage their natural resources, how they use and consume in good way. This is our problems and it’s our job to solve it together.
In my opinion we should implemented these roles, first one is produce the better products, the way that we make the products is safe and minimizing the use of natural resources.
Second, cheaper price. If the better products in expensive price, only reach man will buy it. In fact most of people live in developing country in middle profits, which means they can’t buy expensive products. So the better products should sell in cheaper price.The last one is less damage, it should be the better products with sell in cheaper price and less damage.
As youth, the future of our nation, we should know about sustainable consumption and contribute in go green to save our planet. We can contribute in online campaign in social networks. Nowadays, the campaign in social network is powerful, because most of people are connected online. We also can educate people to people, from door to door, start with our area, regency. Next one is we can make a presentation in campus. Because university is the center of civilization, where the agent of change take place. The last one is use mass media. Printed media or electronic media will give big advantage to campaign sustainable consumption in developing country where not every people connected via online.
