Society for Responsible Consumption

“Society for Responsible Consumption” has been established in June 2011 by a group of friends and former colleagues of the Faculty of Environmental Science and Engineering holding degrees in Environmental Management and Environmental Engineering (UBB, Cluj Napoca). The aim of the organization is to promote responsible consumption of natural resources as a key-premise for a sustainable development of local communities in particular, and of human society in general. Based on the principle “think globally, act locally”, SRC’s objectives include direct involvement of the members of local communities in activities targeting its development, promoting healthy and sustainable life styles following the credo of leading by example, as well as identifying solutions, based on empirical studies and analyses, to problems caused by excessive consumption and forwarding them to relevant stakeholders and decision makers. SRC intends to achieve its objectives through such activities as educational projects, awareness raising projects, creative workshops, trainings, seminars and conferences, as well as research projects on possible solutions to problems posed by unsustainable consumption of natural resources, information and time. We have been both initiating and involved in as partners in local, national and international educational projects. Locally we have conducted workshops in secondary and high schools of Gura Humorului, Cluj-Napoca and Aiud, nationally we have been partnering with other NGOs and networks in national campaigns and workshops, while internationally we were partners is a number of projects, mainly under Youth in Action and Ersamus + programmes.
