CONSUMERISM AND CONSUMER: CHANGING PATTERNS

According to UN, about one third of the food produced for human consumption each year is lost or
wasted. When it comes to consumers, households consume 29 per cent of global energy and contri-
bute to 21 per cent of resultant CO2 emissions. There are many aspects of consumption that with
simple changes can have a big impact on the environment. Urgent action is needed to ensure that
current material needs, do not lead to over-extraction of resources and further degradation of the
environment. There are some of the current consumption and production patterns that need to chan-
ge. Taking the consumption into consideration, being thoughtful about what we buy and choosing
a sustainable option whenever possible can be some of these changes. Making informed purcha-
ses about what we're buying, as an example: the textile industry today is the second largest polluter
of clean water after agriculture, and many fashion companies exploit textile workers in the develo-
ping world. If you can buy from sustainable and local sources, you can make a difference, as well
as exercising pressure on businesses to adopt sustainable practices, being an example to be
followed. Reducing your waste and being thoughtful about what you buy and choosing a sustai-
nable option whenever possible can also cause a huge impact on the environment.​
