As conscientious consumers, we have become overwhelmed with alarms
about food contamination, over-fishing, clear-felled forests, loss
of biodiversity, climate change, chemical pollution, and other
environmental and health-related risks. This book is an analysis of
a primary set of tools aimed at dealing with these risks: green
labels and other eco-standards. The authors address political,
regulatory, discursive, and organizational circumstances and raise
the questions: how can ecological complexities be translated into a
trustworthy and categorical label? Is there a mismatch between the
production and consumption of green labels? Is it possible to
achieve broad public participation in environmental issues through
labelling? This is a timely book that provides a social and
policy-oriented analysis of the challenges for green consumerism
through green labelling.
