Abstract

Sustainable products, services, and “promising practices,” the latter understood as experimental initiatives that emerge from the grassroots to the top of society (“bottom-up”), are increasingly common worldwide and point towards ways of living more in harmony with the environment. However, there remains an urgent need to promote truly holistic and systematic changes in behavior and technological evolution in order to find alternatives to current European lifestyles, which are considered unsustainable due to their adverse impacts on the environment, society, and the economy. Food, mobility, and housing constitute the main areas of production and consumption generating environmental impacts related to lifestyles (EEA 2010).
