Abstract

This article aims to present the attitude of young consumers to issues related to the ecological approach to life at the time of the popularisation of smart devices and homes. The article was written based on secondary and primary sources of information. Direct research was conducted using the online survey technique in 2021 on a sample of 588 consumers aged 18–34 years living in Poland. The declarations of the respondents show that they have a positive attitude towards the use of smart homes and devices that facilitate the implementation of an ecological lifestyle. Positive answers refer to the use of smart homes and devices that improve the comfort and conditions of life, leading to savings in electricity, water and gas, and also offer the possibility for a healthier lifestyle and control over one’s health and well-being.
