Do individual consumption choices impact the environment? -- Have companies effectively adopted sustainable practices? -- Should consumption and production be regulated? -- Is it possible for consumption to become more sustainable?
Summary:
"With the threat of climate change looming over the present, many consumers and companies have prioritized minimizing their environmental impact through making more sustainable choices. This volume examines the role individual consumption plays in climate change, how companies have attempted to become more sustainable and the effectiveness of these practices, whether countries and local municipalities should regulate consumption, and if it is even possible to change consumption practices enough to meaningfully impact climate change. Through reading opposing perspectives on these questions, readers will become better equipped to form their own opinions on these important issues."
