Consumption and the environment - SOER 2010 thematic assessment

Consumption and environment — key message 4

SOER 2010 Message (Deprecated) Published 28 Nov 2010

Topics: Resource efficiency and waste

There is major potential for reducing environmental pressures caused by European consumption. Examples include shifting from car use to collective transport and bicycles, choosing high-quality and eco-labelled products and energy-efficient housing solutions. Another option is to channel additional income towards consumption areas with low environmental pressures per Euro spent, e.g. communications, education and sustainable leisure activities.
