Title	Effects of Certain Personal Attributes on Food Waste
Słowa kluczowe	food waste, consumer attitude, sustainable consumption
Key words	food waste, consumer attitude, sustainable consumption
Abstrakt	With the increase of food supply and the improvement of production processes, the real value of certain food products has been steadily declining over the past decades, which is certainly a trend that has seriously transformed the moral value of food, its role in society and its associated personal attitudes. According to UN and FAO estimates, in 2016, 30-35% of our food was wasted. Food waste in households is also a special area of research in terms of their high wasting rate. While exploring the causes of high amounts of consumer waste, a research group has also correlated (with mathematical models) the gradual growth rate of food waste, the US obesity epidemic and the growing supply of cheaper food products (Hall et al. 2009). In our research, we examine certain personal aspects in case of specific (e.g. functional) foods as well. A significant decrease in food waste coming from households could be attained by controlling our attitudes. Food waste, consumption awareness, eating habits, food mileage, water footprint, sustainable eating, energy efficiency: these are all terms which have to have their meaning and importance taught to people, as they contain important – affecting the level of wasting – information. Therefore, we can see that food waste itself is one of the most serious, paradoxical and global modern issues which the developed world has identified, and is trying to decrease by using national and international interventions in order to limit food supply anomalies and environmental loads as much as possible. Understanding personal attributes more precisely might be a good practice for providing future solutions, as well.

Tytuł	Sektor energetyczny, a wyzwania zrównoważonego rozwoju – analiza przestrzennego zróżnicowania sytuacji w UE w oparciu o wybrane wskaźniki
Title	Energy sector and the challenges of sustainable development – analysis of spatial differentiation of the situation in the EU based on selected indicators
Słowa kluczowe	zrównoważony rozwój, odnawialne źródła energii, sektor energetyczny, efektywność energetyczna
Key words	sustainable development, renewable energy sources, energy sector, energy efficiency
Abstrakt	W artykule przedstawiono wybrane kwestie aktualnie poruszane w zakresie zrównoważonego rozwoju w Unii Europejskiej, a związane jednocześnie z sektorem energetycznym. Stąd też została omówiona problematyka zasobooszczędności oraz efektywności energetycznej, produkcji energii z odnawialnych źródeł, czy też wykluczenia społecznego wywołanego brakiem dostępności do źródeł energii po przystępnej cenie. Poza analizą literatury przedmiotu został przedstawiony ranking krajów Unii Europejskiej (UE-28) pod względem poziomu rozwoju sektora energetycznego w kontekście problematyki zrównoważonego rozwoju. W tym celu przeprowadzono wielowymiarową analizę porównawczą przy użyciu wybranych w toku analizy teoretycznej 8 wskaźników dotyczących aspektów społecznych, gospodarczych i środowiskowych związanych z rozwojem sektora energetycznego. Zakres czasowy analizy obejmował 2016 r. (dostępność danych). Źródłem wartości przyjętych zmiennych był Eurostat. Przeprowadzone analizy wykazały, iż najlepszą sytuacją w zakresie sektora energetycznego na tle ogółu przebadanych państw cechowała się Dania.
Abstract	The article presents selected issues currently discussed in the field of sustainable development in the European Union, and related at the same time to the energy sector. Therefore, the issues of resource efficiency and energy efficiency, energy production from renewable sources, or social exclusion caused by the lack of access to affordable energy sources were discussed. In addition to the analysis of the literature on the subject, the ranking of the European Union countries (EU-28) in terms of the level of development of the energy sector in the context of sustainable development was presented. For this purpose, a multidimensional comparative analysis was carried out using 8 indicators selected in the course of theoretical analysis concerning social, economic and environmental aspects related to the development of the energy sector. The time scope of the analysis covered 2016 (data availability). The source of values of the adopted variables was Eurostat. The analyzes carried out showed that the best situation in the energy sector compared to all of the countries surveyed was characterized by Denmark.

Tytuł	Implementation of Selected Sustainable Development Objectives in European Union Countries
Title
Słowa kluczowe	sustainable development, European Union, sustainable development objectives, greenhouse gas emission, energy efficiency, renewable energy
Key words
Abstrakt	The aim of the paper is to assess the implementation of selected sustainable development objectives in European Union countries with particular focus on Poland. Several different indicators were taken into account: greenhouse gas emission, share of renewable energy, GDP energy intensity and protection of environment and biodiversity, which cover goals set in The Europe 2020 Strategy, among others: reduction of carbon dioxide emission, increase share of renewable energy usage, increase the effectiveness of energy usage, preservation of biodiversity. It was found, that European Union countries generally strive towards achieving those goals, though the effectiveness differs among them. Poland positively pursues all discussed issues. However, is not the leader in any of them. It is important to underline, that analysed data seem to allow to say, that it is possible to achieve objectives set in Europa 2020 Strategy.
