11.Now many people strive to be a follower of the LOHAS movement.LOHAS means"lifestyles of health and sustainability."This term was coined in 2000by two American scholars.Lohasians believe in leading a healthy lifestyle that is actively involved in preserving the earth's environment and resources.According to Lohasians,respect for one'own mental and physical health should exist in parallel with care for the earth's ecology.They believe their actions,in this way,can have a positive effect on our global environment,and might be able to minimize the negative effects of people's mindless and selfish consumption.
Take organic foods for example.Lohasians prefer them,not only because they are chemical-free and good for the human body,but also because they are cultivated using natural fertilizers,which do not harm the soil.Even more Lohasians turn to locally grown produce,the transportation of which consumes far less than that of imported goods.As global warming has become a universal concern,Lohasians are anxious to find ways to cut down on energy consumption.
Indeed,Lohasians are always considering the long-term impact of their behavior on the planet.As more consumers are adopting LOHAS values,this growing trend has dawned on the corporate world and they begin to practice responsible capitalism,which means providing goods and services using environmentally friendly and economically sustainable business practices.For instance,Coca-Cola's efforts in the area of sustainable packaging focus mainly on"using and reduce its impact on the environment.As a result,the company saved 89,000metric tons of glass in 2007alone,and,therefore,reduced carbon dioxide emissions to a level equivalent to that of the planting of more than 13,000acres of trees.
Clearly,LOHAS values have become a significant trend in the world today.Individual or corporate"cultural creative"are promoting these values by challenging old traditions and habits,and building new lifestyles.Although whether these practices will bring immediate confident that these practices will bring immediate benefits to the environment and the health of people today remains unknown,Lohasians are confident that these practices will benefit their children and future generations.All individuals should evolve into Lohasians and take action to save the planet,before it is too late.
