This book examines the behavioral dimensions of global and regional
environmental problems such as global warming, ozone depletion,
deforestation, air pollution, and water pollution.
The book asks: Why do people persist in behaviors that are destructive
to the environment? How can these behaviors be changed? Is environmentally
destructive behavior rooted in the basic predispositions of our
species? Are humans and human institutions capable of interacting
successfully with complex environmental systems?
Authors Gardner and Stern take a major step in answering these
and related questions by presenting a new synthesis of research
findings and theories from psychology, the social sciences, and
other disciplines.
