Green Consumer Day - Sep 28

28 September 2013

Green Consumer Day


The problems of consumerism and its impact on the environment is an area of major concern in today's world. Awareness building on the importance of recycling-reusing-reducing should be taken up seriously.

The Green Consumer Day is celebrated on 28th September every year. This day is intended to build awareness around how even the smallest actions we take as individuals can help or harm the Planet. This global celebration highlights the problems of consumerism and its impact on the environment. A green consumer is someone who is very concerned about the environment and, therefore, not only purchase products that are environmentally-friendly or eco-friendly but also consider ‘Environment’ in his daily life.
