In light of my research, I have formulated an imperative of a sustainable consumer. It is expressed by four principles of a sustainable consumption. The principles are: [1] Selection: select service or product and choose environment-friendly one. [2] Minimization: minimize the range of the consumption. [3] Maximization: maximize functionality and extend life of the product. [4] Segregation: segregate and recollect the waste for recycling/reuse. 2, record 1, English, - sustainable%20consumer
