The Idea of Car Sharing as a Manifestation of Sustainable Consumption

Abstract

The article presents issues related to sustainable consumption as a consumption model that to a large extent opposes a traditional ownership-based consumption model. Sustainable-consumption-driven behaviours include, inter alia, joint car sharing by consumers. The article aims at presenting the very nature of sustainable consumption, including collaborative consumption, and at identifying young consumers’ opinions concerning joint car sharing. The results of our own direct research conducted by means of an online questionnaire (WEB) in 2017 are used in the article.
