This impact turns out to be especially critical when the environmental culture is not formed and there are no positive social and context inducements. In this paper, based on a randomized experimental design, we investigate how some psychological factors such as attitudes and contextual stimuli influence the tendency towards greener behavior and the choice of eco-friendly everyday practices. We distinguish four types of everyday eco-friendly and pro-ecological behavior (recycling, eco-shopping, resource saving, eco-mobility) and analyze whether the choice in favor of a particular behavior is resistant to situational stimuli of an emotional and rational nature. Also, we clarify how the extent of pro-ecological activity is homogeneous at the individual level under conditions of the emerging environmental culture (using the example of Russia).<br><br>By using data of an online survey of 330 respondents aged 14 to 67 from 81 Russian cities, we constructed an index of the tendency towards pro-ecological behavior and built models to test three main hypotheses about a society with an emerging environmental culture: H1. Eco-behavior is not homogeneous – a tendency towards one type of eco-behavior does not determine a tendency towards another; H2. People usually overestimate their own tendency towards eco-behavior and underestimate the tendency of others; H3. Tendency towards one or another type of eco-behavior is not persistent and influenced by emotional and rational stimuli.","PeriodicalId":280795,"journal":{"name":"AARN: Environmentalism (Sub-Topic)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126447203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While pro-environmental behavior is often found to be positively related to individuals' well-being, our research delves into the extent to which this relationship is influenced by individuals' identity, measured both as green self-image and their notion of the good life in general. Using survey responses from Spanish university students (n=640) and paying close attention to the subjective perception of what it means to be “satisfied with their lives”, we find that green behavior is negatively related to life satisfaction in our sample. In contrast, green self-image is positively related to life satisfaction. Whether pro-environmental behavior is positively related to life satisfaction further depends on whether one's notion of the good life (and hence happiness) is utopian, stoicist, or based on a fulfillment- or virtue-view. In addition, well-being loss from pro-environmental behavior also decreases with the available disposable income.","PeriodicalId":280795,"journal":{"name":"AARN: Environmentalism (Sub-Topic)","volume":"444 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133269483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The statistics were performed such as the mean and the standard deviation for all items in the questionnaire. ANOVA test was performed to determine the difference in the purchase decision for green products according to demographic characteristics. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was performed to improve the strength of the factors extracted from the questionnaire. Multiple regression analyses were performed to examine the relationship between Purchase Decision for green products and other factors. Finally, Confirmatory Factor analysis (CFA) was used for confirming the (EFA) result and the sample includes 232 customers of the electric appliances exhibits.\u0000\u0000Results: Findings revealed that there is a strong positive correlation between the social, cultural, personal and psychological variables and the purchase decision taken by the consumer. Meanwhile, the psychological factors are the most effective in the decision-making process of purchase followed by the consumers’ place of residence (desert or mountainous). In addition, the social factor plays a critical role in making decisions about purchasing green products. However, cultural factors played a significant role in this regard. The study indicates that the least effective factors are personal factors, the energy consumption rate, and the monthly income.\u0000\u0000Limitations: Study limitations include the targeted markets only that of rich-oil countries exclusively Saudi Arabia, and focused in the use of air conditioner machines. The time limitation is 2018-2019.\u0000\u0000Practical implications: The study is useful as a roadmap for interested people in the field of energy and marketing inside oil countries and the era after oil utilization or within current decades of decreasing environmental effects done by burning oil and its’ driven materials.","PeriodicalId":280795,"journal":{"name":"AARN: Environmentalism (Sub-Topic)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126010451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hockett, Rhiana Gunn-Wright","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.3342494","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.3342494","url":null,"abstract":"This white paper lays out the guiding vision behind the Green New Deal Resolution proposed to the U.S. Congress by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bill Markey in February of 2019. It explains the senses in which the Green New Deal is 'green' on the one hand, and a new 'New Deal' on the other hand. It also 'makes the case' for a shamelessly ambitious, not a low-ball or slow-walked, Green New Deal agenda. At the core of the paper's argument lies the observation that only a true national mobilization on the scale of those associated with the original New Deal and the Second World War will be up to the task of comprehensively revitalizing the nation's economy, justly growing our middle class, and expeditiously achieving carbon-neutrality within the twelve-year time-frame that climate science tells us we have before reaching an environmental 'tipping point.' But this is actually good news, the paper argues. For, paradoxically, an ambitious Green New Deal also will be the most 'affordable' Green New Deal, in virtue of the enormous productivity, widespread prosperity, and attendant public revenue benefits that large-scale public investment will bring. In effect, the Green New Deal will amount to that very transformative stimulus which the nation has awaited since the crash of 2008 and its debt-deflationary sequel.","PeriodicalId":280795,"journal":{"name":"AARN: Environmentalism (Sub-Topic)","volume":"2675 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131811957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Companies in the footwear industry are not an exception. If at an early stage, this industry was only concerned with fulfilment of the requirements established by environmental legislation, more recently it has been worried about the impact of its products and processes on the environment and has identified in these products a new business opportunity and a way to differentiate their products on the market.

In order to achieve the review objectives, a systematic review of literature was conducted by using an archival method. This review process has used more than 70 research papers which are relevant to reviewed concepts. Findings of the review suggest that there are positive relationships among the reviewed concepts. Further, the relationship between environmental training (independent variable-IV) and environmental orientation of organization (dependent variable-DV) is mediated by environmental attitude of employee (mediating variable-M1). Similarly, environmental behavior of employee (mediating variable-M2) mediates the relationship between environmental training and environmental orientation of organization. Moreover, the environmental attitude of employee (M1) and environmental behavior of employee (M2) sequentially mediate the relationship between the environmental training and environmental orientation of organization (IV M1 M2  DV). Finally, this review proposes a three path mediation model which is useful to test and understand the relationships among the reviewed concepts empirically in the future.

As a means to improve their quality of life, rural people have applied technological solutions; however, many technologies impose high environmental impacts, meaning that rural health would be affected both in near and far futures. Due to local limited circumstance in rural communities, Appropriate Technology (AT) emerges as a comprehensive solution with less environmental impacts. Thus, research on environmental impacts of AT has become an emerging field of study. In such kind of research, positioning is taken into two different focuses: impacts imposed in AT usage, and complete overview throughout life-cycle. Both are founded on the understanding to put AT for having less environmental impacts by design. Therefore, the system boundary incorporates all phases of AT life-cycle. There are three groups of observation, each with different observed phenomena. General overview is provided to understand each phenomenon.
