Sustainable Consumption Institute

Many of us work in air-conditioned offices, drive to supermarkets to buy our food and then store it in freezers, without thinking whether these practices could be organised in a more sustainable way.  Professor Dale Southerton of the ESRC, Defra and Scottish Government funded Sustainable PracticesResearch Group tells us about their research into how social practices emerge and how they can be changed.
