改变有利于环境的行为仍然是许多政府和机构的高度优先事项，现在有许多方案旨在鼓励公民采用可持续的生活方式。然而，尽管在家庭内和家庭周围处理行为改变的方案已经很好地制定，但对这一实践场所以外的活动的关注却少得多。尽管休闲、旅游和与工作有关的活动的消费选择对环境有影响。通过关注实践的网站作为一个关键的框架装置，本文使用了一系列深入访谈的数据，以确定三个主要挑战的学者和从业人员关心的理解和促进更环保的负责任的行为。首先，注意力必须超越家庭作为环境实践的场所，考虑个人在其他高消费和碳密集型环境中对“绿色”生活方式的劝诫做出反应的方式，其次，在扩大环境实践的范围时，政策制定者需要重新审视他们对细分模型和相关社会营销方法的依赖。这是因为有数据表明，那些在家中有强烈环保承诺的人往往不愿意在其他实践场所做出类似承诺。第三，研究人员和政策制定者，因此需要超越传统的“选址”的环境实践对空间复杂的概念化，通过映射的关系，存在的实践网站之间的消费的多种设置帐户。
Proenvironmental behaviour change remains a high priority for many governments and agencies and there are now numerous programmes aimed at encouraging citizens to adopt sustainable forms of living. However, although programmes for addressing behaviour change in and around the home are well developed, there has been significantly less attention paid to activities beyond this site of practice. This is despite the environmental implications of consumption choices for leisure, tourism, and work-related activities. Through focusing on sites of practice as a key framing device, this paper uses data from a series of in-depth interviews to identify three major challenges for academics and practitioners concerned with understanding and promoting more environmentally responsible behaviour. First, attention must shift beyond the home as a site of environmental practice to consider the ways in which individuals respond to exhortations towards ‘greener’ lifestyles in other high-consumption and carbon-intensive settings, Second, in broadening the scope of environmental practice, policy makers need to revisit their reliance on segmentation models and related social marketing approaches. This is in the light of data that suggest those with strong environmental commitments in the home are often reluctant to engage in similar commitments in other sites of practice. Third, researchers and policy makers therefore need to move beyond the traditional ‘siting’ of environmental practice towards a spatially sophisticated conceptualisation that accounts for the multiple settings of consumption through mapping the relationships that exist between sites of practice.
