That is why being ecologically responsible has become an urgent necessity. And it is highly applicable to the manufacturing sectors all throughout the world, as well as the customers who use such items. Governments are also doing their share to safeguard the environment by prohibiting the use of plastics, establishing stringent limits on carbon emissions, promoting recycling, and other ways. The purchase and use of environmentally hazardous items is one of the most significant contributors to environmental deterioration. The current study focuses on consumers in Tirunelveli district.
