As conscientious consumers, we have become overwhelmed with alarms about food contamination, overfishing, clearfelled forests, loss of biodiversity, climate change, chemical pollution, and other environmental and healthrelated risks. This book is an analysis of a primary set of tools aimed at dealing with these risks: green labels and other ecostandards. The authors address political, regulatory, discursive, and organizational circumstances and raise the questions: how can ecological complexities be translated into a trustworthy and categorical label? Is there a mismatch between the production and consumption of green labels? Is it possible to achieve broad public participation in environmental issues through labelling? This is a timely book that provides a social and policyoriented analysis of the challenges for green consumerism through green labelling.
