What would make you reach deeper into your pocket to pay for sustainable chocolate?

Researchers at our Uni looked at the influence of emotive social media posts. It turns out there is an effect, but how long does it last? uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html

Image shows a bar of chocolate broken in half. It is glossy, dark brown with sort of sparkly crumbs where snapped into two and looks very inviting. Chocolate like this can be produced in a range of different conditions. The researchers investigated how emotional messages influence the willingness to pay for fairly produced chocolate.

@simon_brooke. Excellent! Can you share more photographs as your time allows? Thank you for your contribution to the Mastodon universe. The straw bale construction world has interesting connections. For example the foundation to the bale wall, and the bale wall to the sill of the roof framing. #strawbalebuild, #strawbale, #sustainableconstruction, #SustainableConsumption.

Check out our latest article in Sustainability (Journal): An Integrated Model of the Sustainable Consumer.

The term ‘sustainable consumer’ is used across various knowledge domains, from #SustainableConsumption, #GreenMarketing, #Sustainability, and hashtag#SocialChange to hashtag#SocialMarketing for sustainability issues. However, the term lacks a precise definition, which leads to the inaccurate evaluation and measurement of the impact of green marketing or social marketing campaigns on consumption—sustainable or otherwise. This paper develops a framework to clarify the term ‘sustainable consumer’ to assist both scholars and practitioners. The application of systems thinking was applied to the extant literature to theorise the #SustainableConsumer. It provides a new framework for theorising Sustainable Consumers: the integrated model of the sustainable consumer (#ISMC). The framework enables a targeted intervention design according to the layer and element and permits more precise evaluations of behaviour change campaigns’ effectiveness.

Bravo #Fairphone 👏👏👏 I'm still very happy with my FP3, it does everything I need it to do and has been very reliable (but the new versions must be even better)

Migrated to the green side of mastodon so already time to reintroduce myself!

I'm a researcher and lecturer at Lund University in Sweden, but come via the US, Australia and and New Zealand, where I worked as a park ranger and teacher.

I'm interested in #CircularEconomy #policies to address the #ClimateCrisis and in particular, #repair and #SustainableConsumption

I spend my free time volunteering with a #repaircafe and a #libraryofthings, swimming and hiking.

First day on Mastodon. Don't know if I'm on the "right" server but excited to be exploring the community here and start finding my way to connect with people interested in addressing the and issues through and for . Enough hashtags? 😂

I'm also enjoying the randomness of the feed right now so maybe it doesn't matter so much!
