Among the elements associated with the idea of responsible consumption behavior, the notion of controlled and local consumption seems to prevail. Indeed, the elements most frequently mentioned by the French people questioned during this study were recycling, home-made products, consuming less but better quality products, buying products made in France, as well as favoring short circuits. Reducing packaging such as plastic, organic farming, or respect for animal welfare appear to be underlying themes, but still present in responsible consumption.
