Abstract

The consumption of junk food has increased in recent years, leading to a significant impact on the environment. This research paper presents a case study conducted in Jammu, India, to explore the attitudes and behaviors of individuals towards junk food wrappers and their impact on the environment. The survey targeted individuals aged between 10 and 40 years and received 100 responses. The findings reveal that a majority of participants were aware of the harmful impact of junk food wrappers on the environment and believed that the government should take more action to address the issue. Concern for the environment and personal responsibility were identified as significant motivators for appropriate disposal of junk food wrappers. The survey also highlighted the importance of government regulations and increasing public awareness to encourage the use of environmentally friendly packaging in the fast-food industry. The results of this study can guide policymakers, fast-food companies, and environmental organizations in developing effective strategies to mitigate the environmental impact of junk food wrappers.
