Howell, R.A.(2013). Its not (just) the environment stupid! Values, motivations, and routes to engagement of people adopting lower-carbon lifestyles. Global Environmental Change, 23 (1), 281-290.

“When people consider particular choices, the various values

that they hold can conflict, and certain values may lack salience.”

"It is important to understand not only attitudes toward the

environment, but also the motives and values that form the

basis for those attitudes."

"..., most (though not all) agreed that it was the

potential for human suffering that was the strongest driver for

their action to mitigate climate change. "

"This is not to say that environmental concerns did not play a part; four interviewees mentioned distress about species loss and they and others expressed concern at potential damage to landscapes and about humans’ perceived lack of connection to the natural world."

"If climate change were

somehow only to impact non-human nature, without any adverse

consequences for humans, several interviewees said that it would

be unlikely to be such a concern for them."

"Climate change is a ‘wicked problem’ with complex social, economic, political, and ecological dimensions. "

"So what does a low-carbon lifestyle mean to these early adopters? When asked what images the phrase brought to mind, nine interviewees responded (in whole or part) with specific activities, or things to have (such as insulation) – or, more usually, to do without:

No car. Garden. As few electrical things as possible (Hazel)

You try and do without a car, you rely on public transport. (George)

Less buying. And more planning. (Eszther)"

"It is possible that interviewees’ discourses, images, and motivations for action have been shaped to some extent by common or shared sources"

" it is clear that concern about ‘the environment’ or ‘nature’ per se is not the primary motivation for most interviewees’ action to mitigate climate change"

I used different colored text to highlight keywords.

I only used fade out for the ending, I figured the lack of transitions would help ham fist in the chaos of the video.
