תקציר	The Sustainable Consumption Scale (SCS) measures the extent to which individuals adopt sustainable and ethical consumption practices across multiple life domains including food, clothing, household products, transportation, and waste. Developed within ecological economics and consumer behavior frameworks (Sundström, 2014; Vermeir & Verbeke, 2008), the SCS captures integrated sustainable lifestyle rather than isolated green behaviors. The scale is widely used in research on sustainable consumption patterns, consumer segmentation for green marketing, and evaluation of sustainability interventions targeting lifestyle transformation.	The Carbon Footprint Awareness Scale (CFAS) measures individuals' knowledge, consciousness, and sense of responsibility regarding their carbon emissions—how much people understand the carbon impacts of their consumption, energy use, and travel patterns. Developed by Collins, Gössling, and Hall (2011) for sustainability tourism research and extended to general populations, the CFAS captures awareness of carbon-intensive activities, estimation accuracy of personal emissions, and commitment to carbon reduction. The scale is critical for evaluating climate communication effectiveness, identifying knowledge gaps that block behavior change, and assessing whether carbon labeling, footprint calculators, and climate education successfully shift consciousness of personal climate impact.
