Slowing the consumption - from the perspective of Spanish Biology Students

Abstract

Consumerism is a very important issue today because of its exponential growth and its influence on the environment. Because of this, numerous movements have appeared that try to focus on slowing down the ecosystems transformation, such as green consumerism. It is very important to recognise the right green behaviour and to know the recommendations for the future in order to improve the present situation. The opinion of young people studying biology may give us some clues about the thinking of slowing consumption. The paper also gives an opinion of scientists’ way of thinking of this.
