Abstract

The Corona pandemic led to changes in consumptions patterns, which are both positive and negative. Past research suggests that crises present opportunities for adopting sustainable consumption practices. Alternatively, they tend to Increase frugality, which can marginalize environmental considerations. This study extends research conducted in 2018 that evaluates the environmental impacts of consumption patterns among Israel’s different socio-economic deciles. The present research returned to the same respondents during the first lockdown to assess how consumptions patterns among different socio-economic deciles, and support for different environmental policy options were influence by the Corona crisis. The findings show that the poorest deciles increase their environmentally destructive behavior, while the wealthiest deciles show modest improvements. All deciles displayed greater frugality in purchasing. The greatest support for disparate policy interventions was for policies presented as environmental. The lowest support reported was for new taxes on daily consumer products, in all socio-economic levels.
