| Abstract: |
Americans remain the world's waste champions, with a matching appetite for particularly inefficient consumption. Using a retail-sector case study with Whole Foods Market, I will examine changing both the amount of consumption as well as products consumed at the level of the individual customer, the Sarasota store, and the Florida Region. In my project, I wish to stress how ecologically destructive consumerism in the United States can be altered to do the very opposite. By means of environmentally preferable purchasing with an emphasis on waste reduction, we can use the existing capitalist economic system to promote ecologically balanced industries and the green economy as a whole. |
