The last decades have been marked by the broadening of the debates that approach
the preservation of the natural resources that man uses, where studies show that the
present one already represents a real ecological crisis and of irreducible dimensions
in some cases. Climate change and countless ecosystems undergo daily destabilization and their reflections can be found anywhere in the world (Raskin et al. 2010). The
media has become increasingly emphatic, often for sensational reasons, in presenting
situations such as the reduction of natural resources, the increase of various types
of pollution, global warming, the reduction of potable water reserves, the excessive
production of waste, among others. These themes, related to environmental degradation, have fostered the interest of the population, since they always present the
consequences that, due to the decline of environmental quality, will be imposed on
the life of modern society. It has been that the concept of sustainability can be translated into a triplet of aspects related to these reflexes (triple bottom line), resulting
from social, environmental and economic-financial analyzes, separately and jointly
(Menezes et al. 2018).
It is undeniable that much of the environmental degradation comes from mass
production of companies little concerned with the subject, but some research fronts
address the fact that only “political” changes would not be enough to obtain conclusive favorable results. That is, in order for there to be a solid and palpable social
transformation, there must be not only economic changes, but also cultural modifi-
