Exploring the Relationship between Second-Hand Goods and Sustainable Comsumption

Amidst the escalating global environmental concerns, we interviewed diverse citizens to explore their consumption habits and views on the relationship between second-hand goods and sustainable consumption.

The majority of citizens positively regard second-hand goods, Lizzie Lerpiniere, expressed, "I love second-hand goods, if it's cheap enough and good for the environment, why not?" Similarly, Bill Herbert, stated, "Choosing second-hand goods means reducing the need for a whole new production line. It's a good principle.”

However, some still adhere to traditional shopping beliefs, Kate Burgess and Sarah Donnelly believe that buying brand-new items better suits their needs and tastes, while acknowledging the environmental advantages of second-hand items.

To explore the future trends of sustainable consumption, we interviewed Dr. Luca Panzone, Senior Lecturer in Consumer Behavior at Newcastle University, who believes that sustainable consumption will become a mainstream trend and that governments and businesses should strengthen their support.
