- W620826024 abstract "Today we live in a consumer society where people's current consumer habits are unsustainable. All individuals have to take economical, environmental and social factors into consideration, if a sustainable consumption will come true. The best way to try to understand the households' consumer habits are to focus upon the behavior of the individual person. Both the food consumption and the waste field have a large environmental impact. Recently, scholars have found that it is the waste of food which is the main environmental problem, not the food packing. Previous studies have shown that households throw away a remarkable part of the food they buy. Since it costs a lot of energy to produce food, this habit means wasting of the earth's resources. The purpose of the thesis is to illustrate that the households act in an unsustainable way, when they throw the food away. The answers to what kind of attitude people have towards the waste of food and how their behavior coheres with their knowledge about the open-dating of provisions was also searched for. The method questionnaire was used and 50 inhabitants from Karlstad participated in the survey. The results lead to the conclusion that the inhabitants in Karlstad are fairly typical persons, because several of their answers from the questionnaire correspond with theories and previous research. The principal reason why people throw away food is planning of food purchase. The inhabitants have bad conscience when they waste food and they also think that too much food is thrown away. Though, bad conscience does not mean that the person actually stops throwing food away or tries to find out if the product can be used. These conclusions show that the inhabitants' attitude and behavior do not always hang together." @default.
