What is Eco-Shaming? Can it be used for environmental protection efforts?
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said recently that, if an account of the last 25 years is taken, the richest 10% of the world's population is responsible for more than half of the total carbon emissions of the whole world. Injustice and inequality at this level are like cancer. If we don't take steps now, perhaps this century could be our last century.
Many problems of climate change are coming to the fore around the world. There doesn't seem to be any long-term solution. However, these days a new word Eco-Shaming has come. This word was discovered in Sweden.
Along with this, the term flight shame was also discovered. Both these words were discovered in 2018.
Through these, an attempt was made to create an atmosphere against air travel. It was the pressure on companies and brands related to environmental protection, due to which the consumer also started putting pressure.
Environmental adaptation or eco-friendly lifestyle has now moved from general awareness to social responsibility. Companies are also taking great advantage of this. He has done a great job of creating pressure on the people and sending them to gilt through his service or product.
Many new things are being seen these days. After the electric car, now shoes made of plastic waste have also started appearing. Being environment friendly is no longer just a status symbol, it is becoming a way of life.
If tesla makes electric cars, then many other businesses, such as Starbucks, Costa Coffee, and Tesco, are incorporating environmentally friendly practices into their operations.
It is believed that eco-shaming has helped a lot in this, but the purpose of environmental protection will not be fulfilled only by this.
Along with this, attention will also have to be paid to those companies of developed countries who are running their business defying the values of environmental protection.
These companies are continuously exploiting natural resources. These companies also include petroleum product companies. There is a great need to stand up against this.
