Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reasons pollution impacts consumer behaviors changeWhy does pollution environment situation can influence consumer behaviors change? We are surrounded by factors in our environment that influence our purchasing decisions. Some are constants,while others are more situational in nature. In fact, any environment factor can influence consumer behaviours, e.g. when some restaurant let its eatting customers feel noise, due to noise environment can bring uncomfortable and unsafe feeling to them, so this restaurant noise environment will influence some eatting customers do not want to sit long time to eat because noise influences their psychological response to cause uncomfortable feeling. They only one choice to leave this restaurant immedicately. So, they must not like to sit long time in one noise restaurant. Then, they won't spend much time to choose any food or drink, when they feel uncomfortable to leave this noise restaurant. For another example, if you've ever been in a casino, you've probably noticed you hardly ever see a clock. They don't want you thinking about what time it is; they want you pulling the handle on the slot machine. Retail stores also set up the physical environment for a specific purpose. Milk and bread are on the opposite sides of the store so you have to walk the whole length. Impulse items like batteries and gum (which have higher profit margins) are right at the register.

Book excerpt: Many researchers were done in the field of economics, psychology, clinicial medicine, health care, phiolsophy and social science to measure whether which kind of factors can cause human quality of life to be poor. The understanding of the concepts passed through a long period of evolution. Human need natural resources have enough supply to able to satisfy their needs. It concerns the physical circumstances, such as natural environment in which people live, the products and service who are able to consume and the resources who have access to. So, the good quality of life which depends on the quantity and quality of available products and services and their distribution within the population. Otherwise, the idea of standard of living requires a macro perspective and it is generally measured by standards, such as real income per person and poverty rate. The most common measure is national output per capita, measured such as GDP or GDP per capita. Other measures, such as income inequality and life satisfaction are also used. So, it can be feeling of human intangible measure, psychological feeling to measure quality of life to human. It seems that the environmental pollution can have close relationship to influence human quality of life. Thus, quality of life can be measured by objective as well as subjective indicators. One researcher, Felce and Perry ( 1995) who defined quality of life is as total welfare which includes objective and subjective evaluation of physical, material, social and emotional welfare, personal development and activity, all together evaluated throughout personal set of values.-GDP measurement to economic growth and environment economic costWhat are objective indicators of standard of living and quality of life? Objective circumstances refer to the economic and material conditions which are important aspects of the standard of living and quality of life. In the assessment, eight different indicators were used: CPI, GDP per capita, shopping basket, household's expenditures, GFIC basket, poverty rate, income inequality and HDI. However, these indicators is one number measure. It can't measure anyone's psychological feeling, such as health, safe emotion. The challenge concerns whether environmental pollution factor, such as air pollution, water pollution can cause human's health to be poor, even goes down human's quality of life and economy loss. I shall indicate some evidences to give reasons to support my conclusion why I believe that environment pollution is a factor to cause human quality of life to be poor, even it can also cause economy will encounter loss too. In general, measure of quality of life need include human's psychological feeling indicator.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fact, pollution environment is different some external environment, e.g. noise environment. Pollution environment is some consumers their indivdual feeling , e.g. environment protection consumers and pollution environment is one visable natural environment, e.g. polluted oceans, polluted farms, polluted lands. Otherwise, noise environment is the feeling to the consumers when they locate in the place, e.g. the noise restaurant location,the cinema, the noise supermarket etc. different locations. So, in economic view, the noise environment will only influence the consumers' staying time to be reduced when they are locating in the places. For example, the noise cinema will influence many audiences choose to go to another cinema, it has less noise or more quiet enviroment to let them to watch the movie; the noise and long queue supermarket will influence many shoppers choose to go to another supermarket to shopping when they do not want to spend long time queue and they can more quiet, less shoppers environment in the supermarket. Otherwise, pollution can influence overall environment protection consumers number reduces when they feel water and air pollution will be rised when they drive cars on the roads or drink any plastic bottle soft drinks. Then, these plastic bottle soft drinks number and car sale number will reduce when there are many consumers feel environment protection is their responsibility to avoid to consume these "related polluted products". So, pollution environment can bring to some products' economic loss rises more than noise enviroment's economic loss.Because noise or long time queue busy shopping environment can change to be quite and less time queue shopping environment immediately, then consumers number will increase when they feel quiet or/and spending less queue time at the moment . Otherwise, pollution environment must need human reduces to consume the kind of " related polluted product" to avoid air and water pollution in our earth rises seriously. Pollution will bring more consumers number to the" related polluted product" reduces in long time. So, it seems that pollution environment will bring long time economic loss to some" related polluted products" in possible.ON conclusion, pollution environment factor will influence consumer behaviors change to negative, e.g. reducing consumption or avoiding consumption to the" related polluted products", So, any products or food or soft drink manufacturers need to consider how their product materials can influence our natural environment, air and water is polluted as well as impacting consumers' consumption desires are influenced to reduce, if they hope that their products or drinks or foods number will not reduce. When many consumers feel environment protection is their responsibilities, they will consider how to consume, their behaviors can cause pollution effect. Then, the " related polluted products number " will only increase, due to the owning environment protection mind consumers number assumes to increase. Obviously, pollution can influence consumer behaviors really.

So, it seems that this New Zealander families will be influenced to their tourism destination need, they need the tourism destination has car renting service provider to be supplied anywhere to let them can drive the renting cars to go to anywhere in tourism destination. It means that when the tourism destination has less rent car providers can provide renting car services to drive anywhere or it has none any renting car service providers are existing in the tourism destination. Then, the renting car service providers number shortage or none any renting car service providers to be provided to the country's tourism destination, which will cause the New Zealander families do not prefer to choose to go to the country to travel generally, e.g. Hong Kong, China, Korea these Asia countries have no many rent car service providers in these countries. So, the New Zealand families won't prefer to choose to go these countries to travel when they discover these Asia countries lack enough rent car service providers to let them to drive to travel in themselves conveniently. Otherwise, America, England, Japan etc. countries have many rent car service providers. So, these countries will be this New Zealander families' preferable tourism countries. Thus, the New Zealand families' driving ownership car lifestyle will influence their travel behaviors to choose to go to the country which can have many rent car providers in the tourism country any where tourism destinations in preference.Thus, whether the country has renting car service providers, it will be variable factor to influence any country's car ownership families' driving car travel behaviors in their journey in order to let they feel that they can drive themselves ownership cars to go to anywhere to travel conveniently, even when they leave their countries. Hence, these countries' car ownership driving habitual families' behaviors will be influenced their tourism destination or location decision choice when the country has many renting car service providers in preference as well as this renting car service provider supplying factor will be more important to influence the habitual driving own car traveller to be preferable choice to compare other factors, e.g. cheap entertainment consumption providers factor which include cheap hotel living fee, cheap food price consumption etc. expenditure in the travelling country.Thus, it explains that different countries' car ownership tourists, whose driving own car activities will cause their daily lifestyles, then their daily driving own car lifestyles will influence their tourism destination choices indirectly. So, it seems that lifestyle can be a outcome variable ( or dependent variable) factor to influence travel behavior in any travelling built environment. The travelling built environment characteristics can include density measures ( population density, job density), job-housing density). These travelling built environment factor can represent what the city resident's lifestyle. For example, where the location in relation to local center or regional center to the country's residents are living. This country resident's living location will cause this country resident's lifestyles, e.g. holiday or leisure whether it is low budget, active and adventurous or frequent traveller with second place or self-organized, family oriented or close to home . Hence, the country's living built environment will influence the country's resident's lifestyles. Due to different countries' residents will have different lifestyles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In conclusion, in the future, environmental behavior change will be limited by unclear solutions and low political profile, but models of human behavior can help in understanding how to support change. I shall recommend three methods to solve environment pollution challenge to influence economic growth for long term at the same time.The first point, it is practical for example, governments need to promote teaching behavior to let their countries' citizen to know the corrective attitude to putting rubbish to rubbish boxes in streets and to promote recycling schemes to achieve more environmentally friendly products. For example, Hong Kong have 7 million people are living in one small city. If HK citizen put their rubbish to any streets, gardens etc. public places. It will influence natural environment to be worse, then it will influence the flowers, trees plants and bees, butterflies, ants etc. insects which can not be alive, due to their natural environment has been polluted by HK citizen. Hence, human have responsibility to protect their natural environment to let any animals and plants can be alive safely and healthy. If our world could have health and good natural environment which can let human and animals and plants to be alive, then pollution can also be reduced, even our countries' economy can grow fast because product manufacturers can have good and beautiful places to let them to build their plants to manufacture their products every day, due to good natural environment will provide good places to let manufacturers to build their plants, then their workers will also have good health to do their jobs in their plants to raise their productivity and work efficiency. Hence, good natural environment and good places provision to be built plants, then workers will have good health to work, so which has cause and effect relationship closely. Manufacturers need to know their workers should not raise their productivity and work efficiency, even they will reduce their productivity and work inefficiency if their work places are polluted.The second point, economic and legislative need, for example, fines and incentives, making the polluter pays and international action, for example, debt relief international pollution control. Air pollution is the discharge of waste products into air and main sources are cargo or airplanes exhausts, power stations and industrial process as well as water pollution is the discharge of waste products into river or ocean and main sources are ferry, cargo shipping exhausts and industrial process. Thus, governments ought have legislative force to threaten the product manufacturers pollute air or water during their industrial process in their plants.

Book excerpt: How consumer decisions are impacted on environment?Environmental impacts may occur on households, when they need to buy food, mobility, house, household goods and appliances for home use in household consumer behavior view. It can bring direct impacts, that occue because of the use of householder products and services during householders are staying at home. When householders feel need to raise living quality, they will considerate how they use services and related household products. When minimizing the use of natural resources and toxic materials as well as the emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle of the service or household product, e.g. using electricity or fuel time at home, cooling time and bathing time at home activities. So, for on householder who has high environment protection awareness and energy protection awareness, he will reduce long time to use electricity or fuel use time for cooking, bathing, watching television, listening radio time activities at homes, because he does not hope energy waste and protect air fresh at homes. So, consumption is concerned by environment factors, such as demographics, technology, income and prices, psychological, social, cultural environments, e.g. consumers economic behavior is influenced by habt, routines, conventions etc. different environment factors influence. So, economic assumptions of rational and regular behavior is based on long-established principles, such as utility maximization. For example, when one country is encountering serious air or water pollution, then consumers will spend long time to search any data ( marketing research activities) when they need to make purchase decision on pollution environment as well as pollution environment is dependent on ( e.g. attitude, intention to the consumers ).

Book excerpt: Chapter1Demand and supply theory explainsthe relationship between pollution and death disease and consumer behavior and economic recessionNowadays, any countries will have death diseases occur, when the country is encountering any kinds of death diseases, then the country will have possible to bring many people die. What are the negative influences or impacts to influence the country's consumer behaviors when the country is encountering any kinds of death disease ? Why does death disease bring economic recession to the country when the country can not control the death disease to cause many people to die, when they are free to go to anywhere and the owning death disease people can contract any people, they have no death disease easily.What is the negative consumer behavior when the country has many people, they are owning death disease? Why can death disease bring economic recession to the country when it has many people are owning death disease risk?The economic problem - sometimes called the basic or central economic problem - asserts that an economy's finite resources are insufficient to satisfy all human wants and needs. Economics involves the study of how to allocate resources in conditions of scarcity However, viewing economics as the study of how society allocates resources can lead to conflation of normative economic planning and empirical study of how economic agents operate in these conditions.Such as one country has many people are owning death disease, there are many people feel unsafe, they will not dislike to go to any where because they are fear to be contracted from the owning death disease people, but they do not know whom are owning death disease. So, the restaurants, cinemas, shopping centers, libraries transportation tools etc. any public shopping or leisure places will have less people. When the country believe that any one will be contracted to get death disease easily and the government send this death disease message to let itself country to know that they will have death disease risk when they go to anywhere to contract any people, any the kind of death disease can pass air or mouth or hand contact method to cause the health people to get the kind of death disease from the owning death disease people. Then, many health people won't choose to go to anywhere to consume or play leisure easily because they are fear to get death disease from any death disease people in streets or public shopping centers or public libraries, book shops or cinemas or restaurants. So, it seems that death disease can influence consumers' purchase desires to decrease because they reduce time to go to any public places, e.g. shopping centers, entertainment places, streets, libraries, restaurants etc. places. So, restaurants will reduce eatting people number, cinemas will reduce audiences number, buses, taxi, ferry, trains, trams etc. public transportation tools will reduces passengers number. It seems that when the country is encountering death disease will influence consumers shopping desires to be poor because they dislike to go to anywhere easily.So in supply and demand view, when the country is encountering serious death disease attacks, there are many shopping centers will lose customers, restaurants and cinemas, etc. business shops will reduce many passengers or eatting people or purchasers number suddenly in short time, e.g. one to three month, even in long time, e.g. above year. When the country is encountering death disease, many consumers' purchase desires will reduce ( demand of purchase desires will decrease), due to they are reducing time to visit any shops, go to cinemas, go to food shops, catch any public transportation tools to go to anywhere, because they are fear to contact the owning death disease people to get their death diseases by air, mouth or hand contract any time easily.

Book excerpt: ⦁Why environment and human's qualify of life and economic growth has close relationship.I shall explain how this study confirms the invested correlation between economic growth and environmental degradation of hypothesis that is at the early stage economic growth which increases environmental degradation, then environmental degradation decreases after reaching a certain level of average income per capita. Moreover, I shall explain how other factors, such as trade openness, industrial extension also cause an increase in environmental degradation. This study also has been investigated the between environmental pollution and per capita income when have close relationship to influence economic falling down in long term.The key indicators are used to capture the changes in environmental conditions have been developed and used in many countries. A high rate of economic growth has been a primary and permanent goal of government and society, particularly in developing countries. The increase in economic growth is related to an increase in the production and consumption of products and services. Consequently, it may lead to an increase in the multiplied products of the people and income per capita consumption. However, economic growth may produce negative impacts on the environment pollution, overexploitation of natural resources, degradation and loss of wildlife habitat and climate change. Hence, many countries have been facing the decline in environmental quality issue when which neglect to reduce environmental pollution challenge in long term. I believe that the impact of economic growth on environment quality is categorized through three different channels: The first is the scale effect, the second is the composition and the end is the technique effect. The scale effect means to happen as pollution increases with the size of the economy, the explanation being that even of the structure of the economy and the technology doesn't change, it is assumed that an increase in the scale of economic activity leads to an increase in pollution and environmental degradation, when the composition effect refers to the change in production structure of an economy from agriculture-based to industry and service. The last effect is the technique effect, which captures improvement in the technique of production and adaption of cleaner technologies and hence a reduction in pollution⦁Explaining why the Environmental Kuznets Curve key indicator method is measured to any country's economic growth and environmental pollution relationship commonly

Download or read book Environmentally Significant Consumption written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-06-09 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been much polemic about affluence, consumption, and the global environment. For some observers, "consumption" is at the root of global environmental threats: wealthy individuals and societies use far too much of the earth's resource base and should scale back their appetites to preserve the environment for future generations and allow a decent life for the rest of the world. Other observers see affluence as the way to escape environmental threats: economic development increases public pressure for environmental protection and makes capital available for environmentally benign technologies. The arguments are fed by conflicting beliefs, values, hopes, and fearsâ€"but surprisingly little scientific analysis. This book demonstrates that the relationship of consumption to the environment needs careful analysis by environmental and social scientists and conveys some of the excitement of treating the issue scientifically. It poses the key empirical questions: Which kinds of consumption are environmentally significant? Which actors are responsible for that consumption? What forces cause or explain environmentally significant consumption? How can it be changed? The book presents studies that open up important issues for empirical study: Are there any signs of saturation in the demand for travel in wealthy countries? What is the relationship between environmental consumption and human well-being? To what extent do people in developing countries emulate American consumption styles? The book also suggests broad strategies that scientists and research sponsors can use to better inform future debates about the environment, development, and consumption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the economic consequences of outdoor air pollution influences consumer behaviors ? Air pollution can increase number of respiratory and cardiovas cular diseases. How they can impact economic growth, e.g. on human health, mortality and morbidity and agriculture aspects ? Whether when this diseases are caused from outdoor air pollution, why it can influence consumer behavior or brings negative consumpton emotion?The macroeconomic costs of these impacts of outdoor air pollution that are linked to economic activity, and it raises welfare costs related to activity morality and pain and suffering from illness to consumers. For example, market costs are those that are associated with biophysical impacts that directly affect economic activity, e.g. lower crop yields affect agricultural production . Non market costs may also include the monetised welfare costs of morality ( premature deaths) , and of the disutility of illness ( pain and suffering).Raising emissions reflect the assumptions on economic growth with increasing GDP and energy demand, especially in fast growing economies, such as the high population countries, India and China. These large changes are due to the increase in the demand for agricultural products and energy ( include transport and power generation). For continuousing increase in energy demand to China and India car drivers, when they need to drive their cars to go to anywhere often. The higher emission will bring serious pollution. The environment protecting householders will decrease to use emissions from energy demand for, with reflects technology improvement in energy efficiency, the use of cleaner fuels, and biomass in open fire to cleaner energy sources including LPG, ethanol or enhanced cooking stoves. Hence, when many people get the diseases from air pollution. It will increase the medical ( healthcare) cost to governments or when government needs to give welfare assistance to patients. The three different market impacts of air pollution may include: reduced labor productivity, increased health expenditures and crop yield losses.

Download or read book Changing Consumer Behavior Towards Mindful Consumption Through Social Proof to Decrease Environmental Harm written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes overconsumption as a cause of climate change and environmental problems. It expands on the idea and definition of mindful consumption to include nine different consumer behaviors people can adopt to decrease their carbon footprint and harmful impacts on the environment. Research shows there is a value-action gap between what consumers value and their purchasing patterns. Therefore, this thesis demonstrates how to use the marketing tactic of social proof to change consumer behavior towards mindful consumption and close the value-action gap. Following suggested approaches of organizations applying social proof messaging to the nine mindful consumption practices, two case studies of researchers studying the influence of social proof messaging are included. This thesis aims to inspire readers to care and take responsibility for their personal and organizational impacts on the environment by changing consumption patterns.

Book excerpt: While overconsumption by the developed world's roughly one billion inhabitants is an abiding problem, another one billion increasingly affluent "new consumers" in developing countries will place additional strains on the earth's resources, argue authors Norman Myers and Jennifer Kent in this important new book. The New Consumers examines the environmental impacts of this increased consumption, with particular focus on two commodities -- cars and meat -- that stand to have the most far-reaching effects. It analyzes consumption patterns in a number of different countries, with special emphasis on China and India (whose surging economies, as well as their large populations, are likely to account for exceptional growth in humanity's ecological footprint), and surveys big-picture issues such as the globalization of economies, consumer goods, and lifestyles. Ultimately, according to the orman Myers and Jennifer Kent, the challenge will be for all of humanity to transition to sustainable levels of consumption, for it is unrealistic to expect "new" consumers not to aspire to be like the "old" ones. Cogent in its analysis, The New Consumers issues a timely warning of a major and developing environmental trend, and suggests valuable strategies for ameliorating its effects.
