Consumo ético e sustentabilidade: uma postura a ser adotada a partir da educação ambiental

Abstract

This thesis reflects on some aspects of the current period of globalization which has been called the era of foolery, term used to characterize the excesses and follies caused by serious problems which have been happening in the last decades. It analyzes ethical consumption as an attitude which each individual can adopt to contribute to the sustainability of the planet. Its base for analysis is the lobster production chain in the region of the Paranaíba River Delta of PI and MA and the implantations of an environmental education based on some ethical principles as a possibility for developing this attitude and not permitting that sustainability becomes another market fallacy faced with so much consumerism.
