<p>This paper discusses the buying behavior of&nbsp;generations Y and Z related to eco-friendly products or &quot;green&nbsp;products&quot; under the logic of the consumer society. The&nbsp;analysis was executed by members of the research group&nbsp;&quot;Rizoma verde&quot; of the graduate program of the Psychology&nbsp;Institute of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil&nbsp;(PPG/EICOS/UFRJ). The methodology is qualitative and&nbsp;exploratory, carried out from a fieldwork, with interviews held&nbsp;on 25th and 26th of November 2017, during the Black Friday&nbsp;event and the following day at exits of malls in the northern&nbsp;and southern area of Rio de Janeiro. The theoretical basis is&nbsp;grounded in concepts presented by Zygmunt Bauman, N&#039;estor&nbsp;Canclini, and Gilles Lipovetsky. This study features inherent&nbsp;attributes of generations Baby Boomer, X, Y, and Z,&nbsp;highlighting profoundly the behaviors of generations Y and Z.&nbsp;The data analysis of these generations indicates an equal&nbsp;perception, knowledge, and expectation regarding the&nbsp;consumption of eco-friendly products and the environment.&nbsp;However, both generations do not prioritize the purchase&nbsp;because of the environment features; instead, they want a&nbsp;cost/benefit ratio.</p>
