The Little Book of Green Nudges

Behavioural science shows that simple “nudges” towards everyday greener decisions can help people develop sustainable habits and live more in line with their environmental values. Nudging can be particularly powerful at higher education institutions. Examples: • Eliminate trays in cafeterias to reduce food waste • Use appealing descriptions for plant-based dishes • Make recycling bins eye-catching and easy to use • Provide more spaces for parking bicycles and fewer for parking cars • Set up a group to share leftover food The Little Book of Green Nudges explains how to implement these and other nudges, and how to create new nudges tailored to your own campus community.
