We have two characteristics in nature. The one is selfish characteristics and the other is altruistic it, These kinds of nature appears in consumer's behavior when he purchases products in the market, uses them and throws away wastes. Some consumer tries to profit as much as they can get when they behavior in the market. And if this phenomenon consistently appears to them at any time, we can recognize that they behave by the principle of economic rationality. While there are others who pursuit socially meaningful valve, instead of profiting as much as they can earn. we can call them value-rationally consumer in comparison of economic -rationally consumer.
I prescribe it that environment-friendly consumer behaves in the market by the principle of value-oriented rationality. I define to support this insist☞nee the concept of rationality new on the basis of explaining the structure of human nature as well as utilizing results of many studies about environment-friendly consumer' behavior. The main purpose of this paper is, therefore, to give policy-maker any suggestion that it is Important to induce consumer to participate actively in implementing environment policy to improve environmental quality through making the most of this characteristics of consumer's.
