Υπεύθυνη κατανάλωση: μια κεντρική διάσταση της εκπαίδευσης για το περιβάλλον και την αειφορία


Γεωργία Λιαράκου
Abstract

Η υπεύθυνη κατανάλωση αποτελεί μια έννοια κλειδί στην εκπαίδευση για το περιβάλλον και την αειφορία καθώς βρίσκεται στον πυρήνα όλων των ζητημάτων που πραγματεύεται. Βασική άλλωστε επιδίωξη της εκπαίδευσης αυτής είναι να γίνουν οι εκπαιδευόμενοι παράγοντες της αλλαγής προς περισσότερο αειφόρα καταναλωτικά πρότυπα. Γιατί όμως η κατανάλωση συνδέεται τόσο άμεσα με τα σημερινά ζητήματα του περιβάλλοντος και της αειφορίας; Ποιοι είναι οι παράγοντες που έχουν διαμορφώσει το σύγχρονο καταναλωτικό μοντέλο; Σε αυτές τις ερωτήσεις θα επιχειρήσουμε να απαντήσουμε σε αυτό το κείμενο. Θα εξετάσουμε ακόμα το εννοιολογικό πλαίσιο της υπεύθυνης κατανάλωσης, τους παράγοντες που επιδρούν στην αλλαγή της καταναλωτικής συμπεριφοράς καθώς και τα αμφιλεγόμενα ζητήματα που ενυπάρχουν στην εκπαίδευση για την υπεύθυνη κατανάλωση. Τέλος θα συζητήσουμε τρόπους για την ένταξή της στην εκπαιδευτική πράξη.
