ecoconscious
Mindful of nature
Ecoconscious describes awareness of and concern for environmental issues.
Someone who is ecoconscious considers the ecological impact of their choices—what they buy, how they travel, what they throw away: ecoconscious consumers, ecoconscious packaging.
The term often appears in marketing contexts.
