Sustainable Consumption

The Sustainable Consumption Roundtable (SCR) was a joint initiative from the National Consumer Council and Sustainable Development Commission and funded by Defra and DTI.

"I will if you will" - Towards sustainable consumption - found that consumers are ready and willing to take action, but they need clear leadership from government and a good infrastructure.
