Reviews

'Household activities account for about a quarter of our CO2 emissions yet relatively little research attention has been paid to this vital arena. The combination of theoretical insights and empirical underpinnings presented here is unparalleled. The SHARP team has provided researchers with an indispensable framework for future studies and policy makers will find a wealth of grounded research here on which to base informed policy.' Professor Andrew Dobson, Keele University, UK
