Zero Waste Shanghai is happy to announce our next free webinar. Next Thursday, 13th of August, we will be talking with Adina Deacu about the value-action gap (*) theory proposed by Blake in 1999. In other words, she will share more insight about why just being aware of environmental issues is not enough to drive pro-environmental behavior, as well as the barriers that people might face in the process and how to overcome them.
We can truly recommend this webinar to all the professionals working in the sustainability area, policy makers, designers (as they should learn to design better choices for people) and students.
(*) The value-action gap is a psychological phenomenon where people act in a manner that is inconsistent with their personal values. This means that the value-action gap occurs when people act in a way that fails to support their values, or in a way that contradicts those values entirely.
