This experiment examines how framing power plant emissions in terms of air pollution or climate change, and in terms of health or environmental impacts, influences perceived benefits and costs of policies to reduce emissions and intentions to take political action that supports such policies. A moderated-mediation model reveals that focusing on air pollution, instead of climate change, has a positive significant indirect influence on intended political action through the serial mediators of perceived benefits and costs. Political ideology moderates the association between perceived benefits and political action. No framing effects are observed in the comparison between health and environmental impacts.

Abstract Wood waste can be found easily around us. It is usually used as household fuel resulting burning smoke that pollutes the air and reduces oxygen intake, later it would have a contribution to climate change. As alternative, to reduce air pollution due to wood waste combustion, it can be use as part of media artwork. This study used action research to create mixed-media artwork by utilizing the wood waste to reduce wood waste from industry. The results of this study are expected to help maintain eco-friendly industry and reduce the impact of climate change.
