Efficient Energy Use

Cross-cultural comparisons can prove helpful for pinpointing factors which underlie efficient energy use. This study examines differences in the attitudes of Swedes, Canadians, and Americans about energy conservation, as a vehicle for evaluating the energy policies of these nations. Although they are efficient energy users, the heavily regulated Swedes possess weaker perceptions of personal involvement and effectiveness with regard to their energy problems. Canadians seem to have a more realistic understanding of the energy situation, and are more sensitive to the economic rationale for conservation, possibly as a result of their government's conservation promotion campaigns. Implications of the findings for U.S. energy policy are discussed.

Efficient Energy Use

This paper reports the results of a survey on pro-environmental behaviour of consumers within the urban zones of Kosovo. The objective of the study is to explore consumers’ affordability to purchase environmentally friendly products based on the gender roles and investigates the correlation of the consumers who consider that such purchases contribute to the environmental protection including local participation at environmental movements regarding efficient energy use and water efficiency. Findings reveal that despite low-involvement of consumers to environmental movements on efficient energy use and water efficiency initiated by environmental non-governmental organizations, there remains a lack of empirical research on national institutional environmental initiatives to promote and motivate pro-environmental behavior of consumers and create informed citizenry. This research presents the opportunity for further exploration of dimensions regarding product related pro-environmental consumers’ behavior and motivation factors.
