Research on college students’ garment consumption behavior and low-carbon lifestyle

Abstract We survey 260 college students on their lifestyles on carbon footprint and their garment consumption behavior. Using the methods of factor and cluster analysis in SPSS, we show that there is a strong relationship between a carbon lifestyle and purchasing decisions on garment. Students with low-carbon lifestyle tend more likely to make environmentally friendly decisions. It provides necessary basic information for garment enterprises to develop marketable products and a corresponding market.
