The results highlight that generations have different perceptions of environmental issues. Baby Boomers presented greater awareness of environmental sustainability in relation to sustainable consumption, as well as generation Y about environmental practices with sustainable consumption. Based on the results of this research, we suggest that companies and institutions invest in education and environmental awareness actions, to improve the quality of life and minimize environmental impact.
