“…A better understanding of the determinants of households’ adoption of alternative energy sources is essential for sustainable development and for informing forest policies in countries where a large fraction of the population is dependent on natural forests for energy (Heltberg et al 2000; King et al 2006; Mont and Dalhammar 2005; OECD 2002; Sener and Hazer 2008). The strong effects of nonfamily organizations in the local community context demonstrated here have important implications for policies aimed at reducing deforestation, particularly in contexts in which dependence on firewood for fuel remains high and access to nonfamily organizations remains low.…”

We examine the influence of community context on change over time in households’ use of non-wood fuels. Our theoretical framework builds on sociological concepts in order to study energy consumption at the micro-level. The framework emphasizes the importance of nonfamily organizations and services in the local community as determinants of the transition from use of fuelwood to use of alternative fuels. We use multilevel longitudinal data on household fuel choice and community context from rural Nepal to provide empirical tests of our theoretical model. Results reveal that increased exposure to nonfamily organizations in the local community increases the use of alternative fuels. The findings illustrate key features of human impacts on the local environment and motivate greater incorporation of social organization into research on environmental change.

“…Many existing literature have shown how the green marketing could stimulate eco-fashion consumption (Chan & Wong, 2012;Niinimaki, 2010;Sener & Hazer, 2008;Sharma, Lyer, Mehrotra, & Krishnan, 2010;Shen et al, 2012;Solomon & Rabolt, 2004;Tanner & Kast, 2003). Shedroff (2009) depicts a framework to show eco-efficiency, which offers a foundation for understanding the value of sustainability and the new perspectives around sustainable design.…”

The issue of sustainability is crucial in fashion business and has received considerable attentions from the consumers. In this paper, we investigate the change in people's concerns on sustainable fashion by using secondary data collected from two major online fashion forums from 2004 to 2012. Our analysis is taken by a cross-time approach and the results reflect that forum discussions over sustainable fashion have changed over time. While topics on sustainable production and remanufacturing, green information sharing, and green attitude and education once received heated discussions in the mid-2000s, green marketing has become the main focus lately. Our results imply that provision of green information by fashion retailers is a way to educate consumers and improve their awareness in the importance of sustainability. It is also beneficial to stimulate consumers' purchase decision of sustainable fashion. The findings provide industry insights for practitioners to better develop and promote sustainable fashion.

“…Transforming unsustainable consumption patterns is crucial for achieving the vision of sustainable development (Mont and Plepys, ; Şener and Hazer, ; 3GF, ). As a result, sustainability issues in purchasing are receiving greater attention (Mont and Plepys, ; Young et al , ; Cellura et al , ; Vörösmarty et al , ; Moser, ).…”

The efforts of businesses, governmental and non-governmental organizations notwithstanding, unsustainable consumption continues to threaten society's vision of sustainable development. Green purchasing, therefore, offers a chance of reducing negative environmental impacts and promoting sustainable development. Yet, the question of how to encourage green purchasing behaviour remains poorly understood. Based on the theory of consumption values, this paper examines the antecedents of green purchasing intentions among young adults in Chinese cities. The structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was applied to data collected from 309 respondents by means of a mall-intercept survey. The findings indicate that social and emotional values are positively related to young adults' green purchasing intentions, but functional, conditional and epistemic values are not significantly related to green purchasing intentions. This paper has verified the contribution of the theory of consumption values to the green purchasing intentions of young adults in Chinese cities.
