‘This book captures some of the more innovative thinking on “sustainable consumption” being discussed today, offering an excellent starting point for researchers, practitioners and policy-makers interested in new approaches to understanding sustainable consumption. The contributors come together to offer a stimulating discussion around three novel perspectives, but also a basis for future research that might further integrate these approaches.’
