Remove any Potentially leading or bias statements

Some statements were removed or I have provided edits of my own within the rework introduction section.

Rework Introduction

Edit: "From a conventional marketing..." To: Conventional marketing largely focuses on consumer behavior at the purchasing stage of the total consumption process.

Edit: "Yet from a social..." To: To be effective, consumer behavior could focus on all states of the consumption process to determine the overall behavior patterns of consumers.

Review Grammar:

Toward behavior change: contains grammar inconsistencies. View introduction paragraph, second, and third.

Most grammatical errors have been removed since the last time I reviewed the article. Stick to toward behavior change.

Intro Definition: ''Sustainable Consumption Governance: A History of Promises and Failures. Journal of Consumer Policy''

'''Alternatively, the Oslo symposium has defined sustainable consumption as the consumption of goods and services that enhance quality of life while limiting the use of natural resources and noxious materials. Consumption that does not threaten future generations (*Quote: Oslo symposium).'''

Ecological Awareness: Sustainable Consumption: The Psychology of Individual Choice, Identity, and Behavior

'''The recognition that human well being is interwoven with the natural environment. (Leviston, Walker, Green, & Price, 2018). An interest to change human activities that cause environmental harm.'''

“Types”/Historical/Background: ''Sustainable Consumption Governance: A History of Promises and Failures. Journal of Consumer Policy''

'''Strong sustainable consumption refers to participating in viable environmental activities. Consumption of renewable and efficient goods and services (Example: electric locomotive, cycling, renewable energy). Contrarily, weak sustainable consumption is the failure to adhere to strong sustainable consumption. In other words, consumption of highly polluting activities. Such as frequent car use and consumption of non biodegradable goods (Example: plastic items, metals, and mixed fabrics). The 1992 Earth Summit found that sustainable consumption rather than sustainable production and development is at the center of political discourse. (1992 Earth Summit Citation) With weak sustainable consumption receiving some attention while strong sustainable consumption has not been discussed.'''

'''Currently, strong sustainable consumption is only present in minimal precincts of discussion and research. International government organizations’ (IGOs) prerogatives have kept away from strong sustainable consumption. To avoid scrutiny, IGOs have deemed their influences as limited and constrained, often aligning its interests with consumer wants and needs (Cite). With advocating for minimal eco-efficient improvements. Government skepticism towards sustainable consumption committed to minimal strong sustainable consumption.'''

Cultural Shifts: ''Murphy, F. (2017). Austerity Ireland, the New Thrift Culture and Sustainable Consumption. Journal of Business Anthropology, 6(2), 158.''

'''Ethnographic research in Ireland concluded that the Post Financial Crisis of 2007-2008, saw an increase in second hand shopping and communal gardening (cite). Following a series of financial scandals, “Austerity Ireland” (link) became a cultural movement. Irish consumer confidence fell, sparking a culture shift in second-hand markets and charities (Lambkin 2016). Emphasis on sustainability drove a narrative around economic recovery.'''
