The process of problematization is analyzed under the social constructivism paradigm. We consider telegram-channels as an example of public arena for claims-making. This empirically driven research is based on methodology which was proposed by P. Ibarra and J. Kitsuse; we consider four discursive dimensions which are presented in the analysis section. Overall, the discourse of the problematization of consumption contribute to the ecological discourse of consumption which is constructed at the level of individual practices.
