Introduction
    The sustainable consumption is broad terminology which brings all together number of issues such as improve efficiency, reduce waste, lifestyle perspective and also taking care of meeting needs, equality and improving the quality of life. The various studies comes from research shows that consumption issues related to environmental degradation like climate changes, loss in biodiversity and depletion of fuels and minerals. Society leaves important impact on environment and also consumer decisions (Dalby). The action taken by people and their choices make consumption of certain services and products which leaves direct and indirect impacts on environment. Sustainable consumption is not only about buying right products. Sustainable lifestyles ensure that every individual in society ensure to live decent life with ecological limits. I choose two countries which belong from north and south globe are United States of America and specifically Long Island, New York in comparison with Chile-Brinkmann and Vercoewhich suggest the social framework for sustainable consumption which requires differently with education efforts. In depth analysis how social frame works opens the door for understanding how much geography is important to achieve goal for formulate education and system. Here we discuss about the two distinct locations which have highly urbanization and suburbanization islands in north globe and remote islands which seems interested to archeologist in south globe.
Country Overview
    The United States also known as America and it is world’s third and fourth largest country by total area. The total coastal area of the Atlantic seaboard gives further into rolling hills of the piedmont and inland deciduous forests. The Appalachian Mountains divide the seaboard of eastern from great lake and Midwest grassland. The world’s fourth longest river runs mainly in north and south the country which considered as heart of country. The fertile and flat prairie of the Great Plains goes towards west hindered by highland area of the southeast. In the western edge the Rocky Mountains of the Great Plains, this extended towards north to south across the country. The Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges run closely towards Pacific Coast, these both ranges have higher altitudes more than 14,000 feet. The highest and lowest points in contiguous America are in California state and only 84 miles apart. Throughout the Alaska’s there presence active volcanoes named Alexander and Aleutian Islands, Hawaii consist from volcanic islands. Yellowstone national park underlying super volcano in Rockies and continents consist largest volcanic features. United States has largest Eco regions as comparison to rest of the world (Ehresman). The United States has largest size and geographical variety which also includes climate variation among the continent. Starting from east of the 100th meridian, the basic nature of climate is humid and in the north consists humid to subtropical in the south region. The Great Plains of the west of 100th meridian is basically semi-arid. Most of the western mountains have alpine climate. In the Great Basin the climate nature is arid, southwest has Desert, Mediterranean in coastal California, oceanic in Oregon, Washington and southern Alaska. Most part of the Alaska is polar and subarctic. Southern area of Florida and Hawaii are the most populated territories in the pacific and Caribbean. The concept of extreme weather is not uncommon in the states border area basically Gulf of Mexico are most effected from hurricanes and most of the tornadoes occurs over here, mostly in Tornado Alley areas in South and Midwest.
    Chile also known as Republic of Chile is a South American country which contains narrow, long strip of land between Pacific Ocean of west and Andes in east. The north border contains Peru and Bolivia in the Northeast, in east there is Argentina and Drake Passage in far south. Chilean territory involves the pacific islands of Salas y Gomez, Juan Fernandez, Easter Island and Desyenturadas in Oceania. Chile has area of about 1,250,000 square Km of Antarctica under the Chilean Antarctic Territory. The arid Atacama Desert in northern Chile has vast wealth of minerals mainly cooper and lithium (Lorek). In terms of population and agricultural they relatively small central which dominates and the cultural and political central region for which it expanded in late 19th century when they incorporates their southern and northern regions. In the southern Chile area, it is rich in forest and grazing lands and contains string of lakes and volcanoes. After declaring their independence from Spain in 1818, they...
