Whether we eat a vegetarian diet, ride a bike or build a solar system: we are constantly making decisions in terms of the environment - or not. Environmental psychology explores what guides and motivates us. The manual of psychology in environmental protection uses a psychological model to explain how we can better understand and promote sustainable action. As the first German-language work, it summarizes the wealth of knowledge in applied environmental psychology in a scientifically sound and practical manner. Important topics such as self-efficacy, social norms and emotions each have their own chapter. Key questions and everyday examples enable direct application in environmental protection. The manual is aimed at everyone who would like to make their environmental protection projects and their communication more effective - be it in the educational field, urban gardening, environmental activism or working for environmental organizations.
