Derek Peebles – USA

TALK: The New Conscious Green Consumer

The New Conscious Green Consumer

Green consumers are those who are aware of their obligation to protect the environment but choose to buy eco-friendly products or services in order to do so. By being a green consumer, one tries to maintain a healthy, safe lifestyle that will not endanger the survival of the planet and mankind.

Derek will discuss the characteristics of the New Green Consumer and how garden retailers can improve the sustainability of their business by focusing on the shift in consumer behavior and asset-based community development principles. Furthermore, this presentation will demonstrate the benefits of the local multiplier effect, as well as how small businesses act as a backbone for local economies.
