Beyond Green Consumerism: Uncovering the Motivations of Green Citizenship
Individual behavior change is a necessary condition for making a positive societal transition to a resourceconstrained future. Because we live on a planet with finite resources, behavior change interventions need to move beyond creating “green consumers” and instead foster and support “green citizens.” Green consumerism has proven largely ineffective in curbing collective rates of consumption; ...

We analyze the effect of collective action by green/environmentally aware consumers on ambient environmental quality and market equilibrium. We consider a model with two types of consumers who differ in their willingness-to-pay for a good available in two different environmental qualities, and two competing firms: one selling the good of high environmental quality and the other of low environme...

This paper argues that the ethos and structure of organisations within the social economy – for example, cooperatives, mutuals and voluntary associations – appear particularly well suited for the development of relevant dispositio...
متن کاملToxic Release Inventories and Green Consumerism: Empirical Evidence from Canada
We investigate the empirical evidence that firms abate their pollution in response to green consumerism facilitated by dissemination of information through toxic release inventories. Lacking direct observational data on the extent of green consumerism, we construct an indirect method to elicit its effect on pollution abatement. Assuming that environmentally-motivated consumers cannot attribute ...
متن کاملUncovering the hidden ground state of green fluorescent protein.
The fluorescence properties of GFP are strongly influenced by the protonation states of its chromophore and nearby amino acid side chains. In the ground state, the GFP chromophore is neutral and absorbs in the near UV. Upon excitation, the chromophore is deprotonated, and the resulting anionic chromophore emits its green fluorescence. So far, only excited-state intermediates have been observed ...
