Introduction
From the beginning of 1970s, a significant amount of
research has been conducted on consumer purchase behavior
for environmentally friendly products. Many variables were
shown across the globe to drive consumer choice in regards
to purchasing environmentally friendly products. The
growing social and regulatory concerns for the environment
lead to an increasing number of companies to consider green
issues as a major source of strategic change. In the last
decade, consumers have become more enlightened on
environmental issues.

Conclusion
Based on the research findings, we can conclude that a
systematic and well-planned scheme is needed to launch a
green advertising campaign. Green marketing strategy should
be applied so that the firms will be able to establish a strong
corporate image of being green and achieve optimistic sales
of green products.
