The main concerns related to responsible consumption are:

Political and sociological

Economic, social, and environmental

Technological, medical, and social

The current economic model of consumption implies:

A careful management of non-renewable resources

A large reuse of materials and goods

A huge waste of resources, both renewable and non-renewable

One of the most important challenges regarding the future for advancing to a more responsible way of consumption is:

To increase the consumption of renewable resources since they are always available

To modify people's attitudes, making them aware of the risks of unconscious consumption

To punish people who waste resources

One of these indicators is not related to environmental concerns of responsible consumption:

Water footprint

Carbon footprint

Human and labour rights respect

To become a more responsible consumer of resources, you must:

Drink mineral bottled water, as it is healthier

Buy small presentations of products to avoid having leftovers

Reject single-use and disposable products

O atual modelo económico de consumo implica:

Uma grande reutilização de materiais e bens

Uma gestão cuidadosa dos recursos não renováveis

Um enorme desperdício de recursos, tanto renováveis como não renováveis
