Zusammenfassung

This paper argues that information systems have a great potential in supporting sustainable consumption. It describes a number of scenarios where, due to insufficient information, citizens have difficulty finding sustainable consumption alternatives. It then gives an overview of information systems, prototypes and production systems supporting sustainable consumption, concerning all major areas such as mobility, food & drinks, housing and general consumption. It lists the advantages of providing information electronically as opposed to traditional media. In addition, the paper argues that comprehensive European legislation is required, stating the right of consumers for information on how to make environmentally friendly consumer decisions. The implementation of such legislation would be ambitious but viable through the use of appropriate, innovative information systems.
