The developed world for decades has been trying to achieve waste management that meets the requirements of sustainable production. It is very important to understand, analyse and predict the individual consumer behaviour, motivations, values and attitudes towards environmental consciousness. Consumers’ environmental awareness covers positive attitudes towards the environment supported by values and beliefs. The conclusion of the research is that in the area of environmental awareness Hungary is at the beginning of a long process and it cannot be predicted when will it reach the level of developed countries. A positive trend is that today’s young people, who represent the next generation, show more interest towards environmental awareness.

The Impact

Abstract Our research deals with environmental pollution, sustainability, and the impacts made by international cosmetic companies on the motivation of purchasing organic cosmetics. Unfortunately, our environment is becoming more and more polluted, which affects our planet Earth on a global scale. It is everybody’s responsibility to decrease the environmental load, diminish our ecological footprint and leave a much cleaner and safer environment to the future generation in line with the principles of sustainable development. We have examined global environmental problems, the efforts made by international cosmetic companies to protect the environment and their impact on the preference, selection and purchase of environmentally friendly cosmetics. Nowadays, efforts of significant importance are prioritised that are more and more shifted to health and environmental consciousness regarding both corporate and consumer behaviour.

Over the last decade, educators around the world have paid increasing attention to raising public awareness of the need to make concerted efforts to provide a sustainable future for this planet. Many scientists and eco-activists have done a lot to develop public environmental consciousness using different educational tools. This paper discusses integrating environmental awareness into academic curriculum. It analyses the introduction of an environmental component to the English for the Media course offered at St Petersburg University. The experimental study was conducted for three semesters: in the spring semester of 2019 (February - May 2019), the fall semester of the same year (September - December 2019) and the spring semester of 2020 (February - May 2020). It involved 65 first - and second-year journalism students. Media professionals are responsible for changing the way people look at the environment. Project-based learning helps students to expand their environmental repertoires such as shaping public perception of ‘green consumerism’ as a fashionable trend. The growing awareness of environmental issues requires shaping consumer's mindfulness about obliteration and depletion of natural resources through irresponsible activities. The trash-to-treasure and eco-comics projects are lightweight, exciting and effective tools of raising environmental awareness in future media practitioners and enhancing their scientific writing skills. Using these skills journalists can make their environmental messages accessible to a broader public.

The subject of considerations in the paper is a reflection on modern consumption. The author, in search of an answer to the question what main orientations determine consumer behaviour in the market, formulates the hypothesis that deconsumption may become a permanent trend in the development of modern consumption. In order to verify this hypothesis, consumerism along with its main styles and deconsumption as a response to excessive consumption are analysed. The author presents forms of deconsumption, i.e. sustainable consumption, green consumerism, ethical consumption, anti-consumption and consumer movements promoting such forms of consumption. In the conclusions, he points to the development potential of deconsumption manifested in a growing number of consumers who are changing their consumption habits into more socially and environmentally friendly ones.

In particular, it addresses the major questions of green management ? why should management be environmentally conscious and how can it balance the requirements of business success with environmental awareness and behavior. The focus of this reader is not only on the development of an environmental management system via the introduction of environmental plans and policies, but also on the role of top management and individual departments in contributing to this development.

A turizmus alig néhány évtized alatt igazi tömegjelenséggé vált. Dinamikus fejlődése bár számos társadalmi-gazdasági előnnyel jár, a mai tömegturizmust vizsgálva nem tekinthetünk el a nyilvánvaló társadalmi és környezeti mellékhatásaitól: egyes desztinációkban már rontja az ott élők életminőségét, és veszélyezteti a természeti környezetet. Fenntartható fejlődésének érdekében változásra van szükség a kínálatban éppúgy, mint a fogyasztók keresletében. Tanulmányunk egy friss reprezentatív kutatás eredményeire is építve azt vizsgálja, vajon a hazai lakosság hajlandó-e utazásai során környezettudatos és felelősségteljes fogyasztói magatartás tanúsítására, ökoturistákra jellemző viselkedésre. A turizmus esetében kevésbé kutatott terület a különböző generációkhoz tartozó személyek szemléletmódjának, fogyasztói magatartásának kutatása, amely elengedhetetlen feltétele a sikeres piaci működésnek és a turisztikai ágazaton belüli sikeres innovációnak, ezért a tanulmány kitér a korosztályok közti eltérések bemutatására is. By becoming in itself a real mass phenomenon, tourism has generated several positive phenomena. However, if we consider the impacts of today’s mass tourism, its unwanted side-effects from social and environmental perspectives are also to be seen. In some destinations today the living conditions of the residents have deteriorated and the natural environment has suffered. For tourism to be sustainable, changes are needed, both in the supply of tourism and the demand of consumers. This paper, using the findings of a recent representative survey, looks at how open the Hungarian population is to adopting environmentally conscious and responsible behaviour during their travels. The survey of attitudes and consumer behaviour of different generations, a less intensively researched area in the field of tourism, is vital for a successful market operation and for successful innovation within the tourism sector, and so the paper also deals with the presentation of the reasons for the differences among generations.

Abstract The new generation of young people has different level of knowledge about environmental awareness and environmentally friendly behaviour. The online space can be one of the most valuable keys among others which can help to spread this kind of behaviour even more (Begley, 2008). In this study, secondary school students’ awareness of environmental issues and the level of their active participation in these activities have been identified in the online space answering the question how the social media can help in the environmental awareness by the help of smartphone applications. The study was carried out in Gyöngyös city by conducting a survey on students in high school and university. The name of the high school is the Berze Nagy János Gimnázium where the total amount of 493 students were asked but only 465 questionnaires were evaluated because 28 students were not present or they filled it out in a wrong way. In the Eszterházy Károly University the total amount of 147 students were asked. The results of the study showed a high level of environmental awareness among participating students. Students also gain experiences in the field of environment from mass media and social media (Kovács, 2010).
