Environment & Ecology / environmental report

English term or phrase: environment-conscious efforts/approaches

These are terms included in an environmental report. Context:
Participants are asked to make environment-conscious efforts to help...
xxx will press ahead with environment-conscious approaches while observing the environmental preservation measures described in the environmental impact assessment report not only in site planning and building. but also in site operation...

I know -conscious means PREOCUPADO, DA IMPORTANCIA, TIENE EN CUENTA... but anyone can help me with a more accurate translation? ESFUERZOS MEDIOAMBIENTALES/ENFOQUES MEDIOAMBIENTALES??
Could "esfuerzos medioambientales" mean the same?

"enfoques/actitudes medioambientales responsables" podría ser otra manera de decirlo. De todas formas, yo siempre he preferido "ecológicamente responsable(s)".

Hola macesmarch, supongo que depende un poco del tono que quieras emplear, y del tono que emplee el texto original en inglés. En mi opinión, si hablamos de "conscious", tiene un sentido más de responsabilidad (responsability...o incluso "duty", aunque éste último en un sentido más ético que legal). Si eres "conscious" es que estás "aware" de los peligros y de la importancia del medioambiente. Por este motivo, yo siempre empleo responsabilidad medioambiental. Enviromentally friendly siempre me ha parecido un poco "wishy-washy". como si dijera que se limitan a respetar las normas medioambientales pero poco más, sin mucha iniciativa. bueno, es sólo mi opinión. Suerte. Quim

Notes to answerer

Asker: ¿Sería sinónimo de environmental-friendly? Parece ser que environmental-friendly efforts es más común que environment-conscious (creo que el texto original no está escrito por un nativo). Gracias

Asker: Quim, moltíssimes gràcies per la teua ajuda i aclariments.
