Summary/Abstract: This article investigates pro-environmental behaviours and activism focusing on the patterns of environmentally-oriented public behaviours (e.g. civic activities such as signing a petition about an environmental issue, giving money to an environmental group, or taking part in a protest or demonstration about an environmental issue, being a member of an environmental group) as well as environmentally-oriented private behaviours (e.g. sorting glass or tins or plastic or newspapers and so on for recycling, cutting back on driving a car, reducing the energy or fuel you use at home, choosing to save or re-use water and avoiding of buying certain products for environmental reasons). The article is based on data from the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) module Environment 2010.
