Green consumption, is closely related to the notions of sustainable development or sustainable consumer behaviour.
It is a form of consumption that is compatible with the safeguard of the environment for the present and for the next generations.
It is a concept which ascribes to consumers responsibility or co-responsibility for addressing environmental problems through adoption of environmentally friendly behaviors, such as the use of organic products, clean and renewable energy and the research of goods produced by companies with zero, or almost, impact.
In Western societies, during the ‘60s and the early ‘70s, the necessity to protect the environment and the people health from the effects caused by industrial pollutants and by the continuous growth of economic and population has developed this new idea of consumption.
