Since China’s reform and opening up, the economic has been developingrapidly. In2010China’s economy surpassed Japan to become the second largestcountry in the world total GDP. Chinese economy big stride developmentcontributed to the people’s living standard improvement. China also has literallyhung up "consumer powers" in the title. In China’s economic boom, at the same time,we cannot ignore the fact: at the time of consumption, along with deterioration ofour environment. Free use of resources and uncontrolled emissions waste makeChina face serious environmental problems. Clean air and water in people’smemories forever memories. Now people are experiencing every day haze, maskseems to have become a necessity in people’s lives. In addition, contamination ofdrinking water, as well as white trash and other solid waste pollution has severelydisrupted people’s lives. Now people have been trying to find a piece of pure land,one where there is no pollution. But this seems to exist only in people’s imagination.It doesn’t exist. Of course, the development of the economy will have to pay someprice of environment. But at the time of our economic development, the cost ofenvironment seems even more tragic. The developed countries have experiencedenvironmental disasters, which seem very far away from us. But if we don’t changeourselves, not to protect the environment, the disaster is going to be staged in China.These are all worthy of our reflection. However, to fundamentally eliminate thepollution cannot be achieved. Society will continue to develop and human willcontinue to step forward. People’s lives can not be separated from production andconsumption. This will certainly result in environmental pollution. There are anumber of causes of environmental pollution and they are very complex. This articleis only to regulate consumption, and minimize the adverse impact of consumption ontheThe rapid development of Chinese economy makes people consumption levelrising, but this is the huge consumption of resources and serious environmental pollution as the price. Plunder and destruction of nature environment is closelyrelated to human and human consumption. Marx thinks, consumption is not onlythe end of production, but also the starting point of the production. Consumption notonly realize the production, and, in turn, promote the production, at the same timealso affect the exchange and distribution. The importance of consumptiondetermines that people must change consumption patterns which causedamageto environment. Then, the concept of green consumption arises at the historicmoment.The concept of green consumption is not strange to us. China Consumers’Association established2001Consumption, advocating green consumption. But sofar, the effect that the green consumption has received is not just as one wishes. Tomake the green consumption really play a role and realize its value, there is still a lotto develop and improve.China is a developing country with a large population. Every citizen is aconsumer and everybody cannot do without consumption. But for a long time, wemore secure in the protection of consumer rights and interests, but forget theconsumer as a member of the society also should undertake correspondingobligations. If the consumption behaviors causing environmental damage and wasteof resources continue, it can form a vicious circle that the more economicdevelopment, more developed level of consumption, but more environmentaldeterioration. Especially in the current, under the premise of maintaining stableeconomic growth, ensure sound and fast economic development but It should benoted that stimulus spending does not mean tolerating consumption. Consumers’green consumption obligation deserves the attention of the legal level. Becausesociety generally considered the strength of producers and consumers imbalance,unequal in status, the law would be inclined to protect consume. But in the meantime,we must also note that consumers shall have the obligation to protect theenvironment at the same time when they tend to protect the rights. In our efforts topromote ecological civilization, we also should pay attention to the importance ofconsumer civilization. On consumer harsh green consumption legal obligations, it isan important way to achieve consumer civilization, but also an important part to realize the ecological civilization. The contemporary society promotes circulareconomy. Green consumption is the inherent power of circular economy and aspecific form of circular economy in the consumer sector.China’s provinces are advocating green consumption. National guidelines alsoadvocate green consumption. It shows a trend in our country. And in Japan and someEuropean countries, green consumption has already formed the scale.These providea reference for China to implement green consumption. However, theimplementation of green consumption in our country is also facing questions fromthe government, enterprises and individuals, and many other subjects. Therefore, thispaper aims at the legal obligations of the subjects of liabilities, to protect the greenconsumption to achieve in china.
