Green lifestyles and ethical consumption have become increasingly popular strategies in moving towards environmentally-friendly societies and combating global poverty. Where previously environmentalists saw excess consumption as central to the problem, green consumerism now places consumption at the heart of the solution. However, ethical and sustainable consumption are also important forms of central to the creation and maintenance of class distinction. Green Consumption scrutinizes the emergent phenomenon of what this book terms eco-chic: a combination of lifestyle politics, environmentalism, spirituality, beauty and health. Eco-chic connects ethical, sustainable and elite consumption. It is increasingly part of the identity kit of certain sections of society, who seek to combine taste and style with care for personal wellness and the environment. This book deals with eco-chic as a set of activities, an ideological framework and a popular marketing strategy, offering a critical examination of its manifestations in both the global North and South. The diverse case studies presented in this book range from Basque sheep cheese production and Ghanaian Afro-chic hairstyles to Asian tropical spa culture and Dutch fair-trade jewellery initiatives. The authors assess the ways in which eco-chic, with its apparent paradox of consumption and idealism, can make a genuine contribution to solving some of the most pressing problems of our time.

The best 50 spf sunscreen!
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
This is the best 50 spf mineral sunscreen I have found! It really gives a barrier to prevent sunburn on the skin! I use this 50 spf sunscreen on myself my kids my husband! It stays on for a really long time! And on my horses with pink noses! The cream is light, a little watery in the palm. It feels light and is not sticky on the skin. The smell is lightly tropical, which are my favorite smells! It does leave a faint white color on the skin when you put it on. It does it’s job really good stopping a sunburn!

Great sunscreen, leaky bottle cap
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
Great sunscreen. Smells good, but not overpowering. Best mineral sunscreen I’ve used—still a bit pasty, but rubs in better than any other brand. The bottle design is horrible. The cap falls off with the slightest touch. If you like sunscreen in the bottom of your beach bag, the bottle is great.

Did not protect
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
Product smells great and goes on better than most mineral sunscreens. It was labeled as "reef safe" so I assumed it would work well in water. It did not. After just a half hour in the Caribbean water, my skin was red. The product did not say "waterproof" so we decided to use it only when we were away from the beach. Unfortunately, even in the cold spring weather of our northern climate we still ended up with red skin. We had no choice but to throw away the rest of the bottle. Do not expect this lotion to protect you from the damaging rays of the sun.

Great sport block for sensitive skin
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
I use this whole playing tennis or pickleball, it might be a little much for everyday. Does not irritate my sensitive skin. Rich enough for dry skin. Very slightly white cast that quickly fades. Does not run or bother my eyes for sports. Basically perfect in all categories.
