LAW, CONSUMPTION AND SUSTAINABILITY: a look at this tripod Fel

Abstract

In the face of a bibliographic, qualitative and descriptive research, based on an analysis of the bibliographies, the hypothesis of the relationship between Law, Consumerism and Sustainability will be developed in order to clarify the objectives of this article: explain the concepts mentioned above, find the relationship between Consumerism and Sustainability and indicate how
the Law Institute can collaborate with a more financially, environmentally and healthily sustainable planet, in individual and collective spheres. With the development of the 21st century and the increasing acceleration of consumption, in its various faces, we have reached a point where the Earth
is no longer sustained, bringing multiple environmental and human health consequences. It is in this
way that the regulation brought by the Law must provide mechanisms for sustainable consumption and curb practices that encourage unrestrained consumption. As a conclusion, it was noted the close relationship between these three concepts and the need for legal regulation to interfere in the
harmful consumption patterns for personal finances, individuals' health and environmental balance.
