Abstract
The ecology and
natural resources are deteriorating quickly impacting the sustainability of
life on earth. Climate change, global warming, and other serious catastrophes
are reconfiguring the ecosystem in various ways. One of the primary sectors that
have significantly worsened the environment is the industrial sector.
Environmental effects are one of the unfortunate byproduct of the consumption
of goods and services by the consumers viz. food, mobility, housing and
household products as well as the appliances. Looking at the current scenario,
a study was undertaken on “Awareness of consumers regarding Environmental
Sustainability and Green Consumerism.” The objectives were to find the
awareness of the consumers regarding consumption of goods that cause harm to
the environment and human health and to impart knowledge about importance of green
consumerism. In the present study 120 urban customers were selected randomly and
the data gathered through a structured questionnaire was analyzed. The results
revealed that the respondents believed green consumerism can save our ecosystem
and were well aware of their own duties as consumers. The respondents were of
the opinion that green consumerism could save our ecosystem and that plastic
was one of the most hazardous sources of environmental deterioration.
