Highlighted by the Environment Round Table (“Grenelle de l’environnement”), househol consumption of goods and services represents a major challenge in reducing our impact on the environment, in terms of combating the greenhouse effect and moving towards a more energy and resource efficient economy. The development and display of an "environmenta rice", a strong symbolic commitment of the Environment Round Table, will result in the radual availability to consumers of the information on the carbon footprint and othe environmental impacts of their purchases, from 2011. Whilst the goal is ambitious (including an environmental component in consumer purchasing choices and providing the entire production and distribution chain with new indicators shoul in turn intensify their efforts to better eco-design products), the means to achieve this are also important. This applies both as regards the laws and draft laws in progress, and the Partnership work initiated in May 2008 within the ADEME/AFNOR platform, which is dedicate to this subject and now includes more than 300 participants from various stakeholders. With regard to displaying the "environmental price" France has been leading the way since 007 as a result of the Environment Round Table. Today, it is no longer isolated as can be een with the recent increase in national, European and American initiatives.   Household consumption, a source of  The main contributions of the Environment environmental impacts:  Round Table: Industry, agriculture and transport of goods ... produce  In terms of sustainable consumption, the com- negative impacts on the environment.
