Consumo consciente ambiental como mecanismo de proteção do dever fundamental ao meio ambiente e desenvolvimento sustentável

Abstract

The proposed study has as its context the growing concern about the impacts of unrestrained consumption on the environment, exacerbated by the scientific and technological advances that characterize the consumer society. This scenario generated global threats, such as environmental, chemical, nuclear and economic risks, challenging the preservation of the environment for present and future generations. In this sense, the research aims to explore the relationship between conscious consumption, the fundamental duty to protect the environment and sustainable development, considering the 1988 Federal Constitution as a central reference. Faced with the environmental and social challenges arising from the current consumption model, the research aims to analyze conscious consumption practices as a way of protecting the environment and implementing sustainable development. To this end, topics such as consumer society, obsolescence, the fundamental duty to protect the environment, public policies for conscious consumption and the relationship between consumption, sustainability and citizenship will be addressed. The methodology used will be a bibliographical review with dialectical and analytical approaches, seeking to understand both the dynamic aspects and the static elements related to the topic. The research is justified by the social and environmental relevance of the topic, highlighting the importance of promoting more sustainable and responsible consumption practices in the face of global environmental challenges. Faced with the uncertainties generated by intense industrial development and unrestrained consumption, it is necessary to investigate how conscious consumption can contribute to the effectiveness of the duty to protect the environment and to the achievement of sustainable development. The research aims to contribute to a greater understanding of the challenges and opportunities related to conscious consumption, providing support for the formulation of more sustainable public policies and social practices.
