This paper uses evidence from existing empirical research and a large questionnaire survey undertaken by the author to argue that environmental action is open to a range of influences, focusing especially on environmental values, situational characteristics and psychological variables. Accordingly, the paper asserts that strategies for promoting environmentally responsible behaviours (such as energy saving, water conservation and waste recycling) should take account of these factors. The implications for the study of environmental behaviour are considered.", pages = "227-240(14)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bpl/area/2003/00000035/00000003/art00001" doi = "doi:10.1111/1475-4762.00172" }
