Abstract

The awareness of the environmental issues has made people to feel guilty about their past choices and to help minimize their negative impact they have decided to live a life based on sustainability. Living a sustainable life means, among other, to protect the environment. Therefore, people turned their usual consumption into a green way. The purpose of this thesis was to illustrate how two type of vegetarianism, flexitarians which are those people who on rare occasions consume meat but in generally they follow a plant based diet and actual vegetarians, could be integrated into a bigger group called green consumers. Although these two concepts are completely different, some similarities between them exist. Regarding their overall behavior, there is a connection between the choice of a vegetarian diet with the impact on the environment of personal overall consume and the perceived impact on the ecosystem of alimentary consume with the overall consume.
