Sustainable
Consumption is important for us, for our future. Because we are human kind and
we are not going to live forever. We need save this planet to our generation,
the natural resources, water and the air, the elements of live.
The
definition proposed by the 1994 Oslo Symposium on Sustainable Consumption
defines it as "the use of services and related products which respond to
basic needs and bring a better quality of life while minimizing the use of
natural resources and toxic materials as well as emissions of waste and
pollutants over the life cycle of the service or product so as not to
jeopardize the needs of future generations
Because
of that, we do need sustainable consumption and being green is not an option,
its necessity. In my opinion sustainable consumption is not only an important
issue for developing countries but also advance countries. We can’t say that
because of the advance countries don’t care about environment, they keep grow
up, the manufactory and vehicles keep produce the pollution, the people don’t
pay attention about sustainable consumption, so we can blame it to them, or we
can’t say that because of developing countries don’t know about this issue, the
people don’t know how to manage their natural resources, how they use and
consume in good way. This is our problems and it’s our job to solve it together.
In
my opinion we should implemented these roles, first one is produce the better
products, the way that we make the products is safe and minimizing the use of
natural resources.
Second, cheaper
price. If the better products in expensive price, only reach man will buy it.
In fact most of people live in developing country in middle profits, which
means they can’t buy expensive products. So the better products should sell in
cheaper price.The last one is
less damage, it should be the better products with sell in cheaper price and
less damage.
As
youth, the future of our nation, we should know about sustainable consumption
and contribute in go green to save our planet. We can contribute in online
campaign in social networks. Nowadays, the campaign in social network is
powerful, because most of people are connected online. We also can educate
people to people, from door to door, start with our area, regency. Next one is
we can make a presentation in campus. Because university is the center of
civilization, where the agent of change take place. The last one is use mass
media. Printed media or electronic media will give big advantage to campaign
sustainable consumption in developing country where not every people connected
via online.
