From the Paper:

"LOHAS is an acronym for Lifestyles of health and sustainability. They are comprised of a segment of the population who has made the conscious decision to leave as small a destructive footprint on earth as they can manage. They see the impact of years of careless mismanagement of the earth's resources and they aim to reverse the mindset that American's are unwilling to pay more for goods that are obtained in an ecologically sustainable manner. This market segment emerged from a desire to have food free from pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals. As their knowledge grew and more products became available their interests turned to solar energy, windmill energy, energy efficient appliances, natural and herbal health products, cleaning supplies, clothes derived from all natural fabrics and homes built from sustainable materials. (Peterson, 2005)"
