Recognizing the great potential of civil society organizations (CSOs) as drivers of socialchange, this study examines how CSOs’ work directed towards consumers—in this case, to make food consumption practices sustainable—could be analyzed and improved through insights in practice theory. This research scope adds to the sustainable consumption literature by shifting the lens from the rich body of s

Varför låter vi så ofta våra uppfattningar om verkligheten påverkas så mycket av andra personer, även när deras uppfattningar är felaktiga?För att svara på den frågan måste vi nalkas en än mer grundläggande evolutionär fråga – varför människan som art var så framgångsrik under de 99,5 procent av vår historia när släktet Homo levde som nomadiska jägare-samlare.

Promoting resource- and energy-efficient home lighting through technology and behaviour change requires an understanding of how residents currently use lighting and what they want from it.
