responsible consumption and production
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
The sustainable benefits from reducing water, energy, and food waste are necessary to secure future economic, environmental, and social prosperity. Current levels of production and consumption are unable to meet the projected rate of future population growth. Reducing the unnecessary drain on finite goods and materials ensures a quality of life available to all. Every individual is responsible for minimizing the impact of using natural resources. Energy savings, emissions reductions, and supply chain management require businesses to innovate in order to contribute to sustainable solutions.

Why It Matters
Preserving our environment is essential for supporting the demand on natural resources that is a product of increased prosperity. On an individual level, household consumption can be managed through energy conservation including energy efficient light bulbs and water conservation practices. Businesses can provide leadership through the introduction of innovative solutions inspiring individuals to practice sustainable routines in their daily lives. Recycling is a major factor in reducing food waste and minimizing the amount of garbage and plastics that end up in oceans. Insights into materials and textiles can inform buying habits.
