The aim of this study is to address the concept of sustainable consumption, which has become one of the most important issues of recent times in our world, where the global environmental crisis is increasing, from the consumer perspective. Unsustainable production and consumption are one of the biggest threats to humanity and future generations. Sustainable consumption argues that we should use resources to meet our basic needs and not use more resources than we need. Limited resources despite unlimited consumption make the concept of sustainability important. Sustainability is considered a participatory process that creates a social perspective by ensuring the prudent use of all social, scientific, natural, and human resources in society. In order to manage resources consciously within the framework of sustainability, the concepts of reduce, reuse and recycle, summarized as 3-R, have been mentioned in order for both producers and consumers to act together. Sustainability, which refers to a process, includes both the present generation and future generations to have better living conditions. It is very important to understand the factors that determine consumer behavior in creating sustainable consumption awareness and all economic, social, and environmental stakeholders at national, regional, and international levels should be involved in the change process for sustainability. The Ecological Footprint, which is widely used by scientists, businesses, governments, individuals, and institutions to monitor the ecological situation and to advance resource use and sustainable development, is considered as an indicator of total population and consumption status.
