摘要：This article aims to revive the discussion of the problem of sustainable consumption. Environmental degradation has been presented as one of the social problems, which occurs mainly as a result of unbridled production and exacerbated Consumerism, and these are some of the latent and widely discussed problems today. In the face of this problem, the use of the principles of sustainable development, seeks to minimize through this research these stigmas that significantly affect society. In this sense, this work aims to address these discussions, under the bias of the model and concepts of sustainable development, through environmental education, responsible consumption and production, among others. In order to do so, the deductive method of approach was carried out for the construction of the research, from the bibliographic research of a qualitative nature through the analysis of texts, theses, dissertations, magazines and books, with subsequent analysis of the documentary part through analysis content of constitutional and infra-constitutional laws. From the research as a result, it was observed that although several measures will have been taken in order to promote sustainable development in the face of consumerism, there is still a lot to demystify and do, old and mistaken concepts must be reviewed and new attitudes towards the socio-environmental problems must be taken up and encouraged. In summary, sustainable consumption is presented as one of the possibilities for dealing with the issue of impacts generated by consumerism, it involves changes in attitude allied to the need to transform the system of values and attitudes of citizens in the public sphere.
