Purpose: Competing for increasing numbers and more conscious consumers, as well as the emergence of new generations on the market, necessitates the continuous improvement of knowledge about pro-environmental and pro-social consumer attitudes and behavior. Therefore, this study attempts to: - identify the type of actions taken within the framework of sustainable development by selected food brands, - assess the pro-environmental and pro-social attitudes of young consumers purchasing food products, - determine whether environmental and social aspects are a criterion for food choice among young consumers. Design/methodology/approach: The research was conducted in two stages. In the first, an analysis was made of messages posted on the websites of selected food brands. In the second, a quantitative survey was conducted among young consumers (n = 420) by indirect online survey measurement, using a survey questionnaire posted on Google form. Findings: Young consumers have positive pro-environmental and pro-social attitudes. According to the respondents, the social involvement of companies influences the positive image and popularity of the products offered. Nevertheless, almost half of all consumers declared reluctance to pay more for the purchase of goods whose producers are involved in philanthropic and pro-environmental activities. This suggests that, in the opinion of this segment of respondents, it is entrepreneurs who should take financial responsibility for their actions by not raising the prices of the products they sell. It has been shown that concern for others by purchasing socially committed brands and the environmental friendliness of the product have lower rankings in the hierarchy of food product selection factors. Research limitations/implications: The research was conducted on a narrow subject basis, so the results obtained cannot be generalized to the entire segment of young consumers. The scope of the presented research is also limited. The results of the research should be considered as a pilot. Practical implications: The findings are relevant to managers implementing brand sustainability campaigns in the food production sector. They point to the need to continue such activities aimed at fostering altruistic and pro-environmental attitudes among the society. Originality/value: This study highlights that sustainability encompasses a wide range of activities with diverse ways of communicating value to consumers.

In 2009 the Ministry of National Education introduced a new core curriculum for general education in Poland which completely transformed environmental education at ISCED 2 (Polish: gimnazjum, junior high school) and ISCED 3 (post-gimnazjum, senior high schools of different types) stages. Considering the immense impact of chemical substances on the state of global nature, the curriculum for chemistry plays a pivotal role in the development of environmental knowledge and pro-environmental attitudes among students in Polish schools. There is no doubts that not only are chemistry textbooks the basic source of scientific knowledge for students, but they also inspire teachers during class preparation. The educational reform created a need for updating chemistry textbooks according to new core curriculum. The aim of this work was to investigate the coherence between elements of environmental education required by core curriculum and the depiction of these issues proposed in textbooks. Textbooks of major Polish educational publishers for junior and senior secondary schools at basic level were analyzed. The results of this study show that all examined textbooks are coherent with environmental issues included in the program fundamentals, but they also give additional pieces of information when needed, even when such content is not precisely defined in the core curriculum (eg organic chemical waste problems). The comparison of selected textbooks provided information on the present state of education reform implementation and on what could be improved or clarified in the new core curriculum regarding environmental problems.

W 2009 roku Ministerstwo Edukacji Narodowej wprowadziło nową podstawę programową kształcenia ogólnego w Polsce, która przekształciła całkowicie edukację środowiskową na III (gimnazjum) i IV (szkoły ponadgimnazjalne) etapie kształcenia. Biorąc pod uwagę ogromny wpływ substancji chemicznych na stan środowiska naturalnego, podstawa programowa przedmiotu chemia pełni istotną rolę w rozwijaniu wiedzy środowiskowej oraz postaw prośrodowiskowych wśród uczniów polskich szkół. Bez wątpienia, podręczniki chemiczne są nie tylko podstawowym źródłem wiedzy naukowej dla uczniów, ale także inspiracją dla nauczycieli przygotowujących zajęcia lekcyjne. Reforma edukacyjna narzuciła konieczność zaktualizowania podręczników do nauki chemii zgodnie z nową podstawą programową. Celem niniejszej pracy było zbadanie spójności elementów edukacji prośrodowiskowej wymaganych w nowej podstawie programowej z omówieniem tych zagadnień zaproponowanym w wybranych podręcznikach. Analizie poddano podręczniki dla szkół gimnazjalnych i ponadgimnazjalnych (zakres podstawowy) wydane przez największe polskie wydawnictwa edukacyjne. Wyniki tego badania wskazują, że wszystkie analizowane podręczniki są zgodne z treściami kształcenia prośrodowiskowego zawartymi w podstawie programowej, a jeśli to konieczne, zawierają także dodatkowe wiadomości nieujęte podstawą programową (np. problemy z odpadami związków organicznych). Porównanie M. Musialik, M.M. Chrzanowski, I. Buczek, E.B. Arèvalo-Garcia and B. Ostrowska 142 wybranych podręczników dostarczyło informacji o stanie obecnym wdrażania reformy edukacyjnej oraz o elementach nowej podstawy programowej dotyczących problemów środowiskowych, które warto poprawić lub uściślić.

Purpose: Competing for a limited number of socially conscious consumers and the appearance of new generations on the market forces a continuous addition of knowledge concerning pro-environmental and pro-social consumer attitudes and behaviour. Therefore, the present study attempts to: - identify the type of actions taken within the framework of sustainable development by selected clothing brands, - assess the pro-environmental and pro-social attitudes of young consumers purchasing clothing, - determine whether environmental and social aspects are a criterion for clothing choice among young consumers. Design/methodology/approach: Two approaches were used in the research. In the first stage of the research, messages posted on the websites of selected clothing brands were analysed. In the second, a quantitative study was conducted among young consumers (n = 218) by indirect online survey measurement, using a survey questionnaire embedded in a Google form. Findings: Young consumers present positive pro-environmental and pro-social attitudes. According to the respondents, the social commitment of companies influences the positive image and popularity of their products. However, almost half of all consumers presented an ambivalent or negative attitude towards paying more for the purchase of goods whose producers are involved in philanthropic and pro-environmental activities. This suggests that, in the view of this segment of respondents, it is the traders who should take financial responsibility for their actions by not raising the prices of the products they sell. Concern for others by purchasing socially committed brands and the environmental friendliness of the product were shown to rank lower in the hierarchy of clothing choice factors. Research limitations: The research was conducted on a narrow subject basis, so the results obtained cannot be generalised to the young consumer segment. The scope of the presented research is also limited. The results of the research should be regarded as a pilot study. Practical implications: The findings are of relevance to managers in charge of sustainability campaigns for clothing brands. They point to the need for further education aimed at shaping altruistic and pro-environmental attitudes. Originality/value: This study highlights that sustainability encompasses a range of activities with different ways of communicating values to consumers.

Purpose: Progressive climate change requires the implementation of this idea not only in companies or manufacturing plants, but also in households. Therefore, this study attempts to: identify the awareness and type of attitudes of Generation Z consumers toward sustainable consumption, and assess the relationship between attitudes about sustainable consumption issues among Generation Z consumers and their behavior and stated intentions to behave toward sustainable consumption. Design/methodology/approach: The survey was conducted among young consumers of Generation Z (n = 380). A non-probabilistic sampling technique known as convenience sampling was used to select respondents for the research sample. The research was carried out by indirect online survey measurement method (CAWI), using a survey questionnaire hosted on Google Form. Findings: Issues of sustainable consumption are familiar to a group of Generation Z consumers. they are aware that excessive consumption and irrational use of resources can adversely affect the environment and climate change. However, the most important criterion in choosing products is price. A favorable aspect is that more and more young consumers are purchasing used products, which may be associated with their lower cost. However, they are more likely to purchase them through online services, which is more convenient. Despite awareness of the benefits of adhering to the principles of sustainable consumption, those surveyed are quite skeptical about supporting nonprofit organizations or participating in social campaigns. Research limitations/implications: The research was carried out narrowly in terms of subjects, so it cannot be generalized to the entire segment of Generation Z consumers. The scope of the presented research is also limited. The results of the research should be considered as a pilot study. Practical implications: Findings are relevant to actors along the entire chain of production and distribution of consumer goods, allowing the identification of consumer needs and behavior. State institutions and European Union bodies should continue their efforts leading to the development of the necessary legal and financial instruments that will encourage citizens to take socially and environmentally responsible actions. Originality/value: This research underscores that sustainable consumption is increasingly important to young consumers and requires an interdisciplinary approach to pro-environmental research on their behavior.
