Pro-environmental habits and ecological responsibilities

Habits provide the foundation of many everyday acts and maybe formidable barriers to change; once formed, habits remain without much thinking or re-consideration. Habits are rarely included in research on pro-environmental behavior, which instead highlights the relevance of values, norms, attitudes, intentions, and motivation for pro-environmental conduct. Therefore, this study has a key research objective to analyze the pro-environmental habits of common citizens in Pakistan, especially in South Punjab. For this purpose, the primary data has been collected from 430 individuals living in south Punjab, Pakistan. Descriptive analysis has been conducted for four main factors namely, pro-environmental habits (PEH), environmental concern (EC), health concern (HC), economic concern (ECOC) to analyze Pro-Environmental Habits of common citizens. This study indicates that pro-environmental habits are not a unitary, undistinguishable idea and that a diverse arrangement of factors decides the diverse forms of pro-environmental habits. Hence, it is significant to first classify the behavior to change and then find what factors could explain that specific behavior.
