Individual Behaviours

I have always wondered why people behave in different ways towards environmental conservation. What affects their decision to create and throw waste? Are they unaware of the effects of high waste disposable?

Most behaviors are determined in multiple levels, and in this segment of the blog, we will review some of the factors that influence one’s pro-environmental behaviors.

These factors can be summarised into 3 distinct groups:

Internal Factors

External Factors

 

Consumerism

 

Each of these factors may affect one’s creation of waste, or could be possible explanations to why people are deterred from reducing waste. I hope that after reading this segment of the blog, it will provide you with a better understanding about the underlying reasons and motivations of people’s actions and behaviours.
