Participation in environmental actions (EAs) has typically been studied from the individual perspective, thus largely ignoring the social context of the household which may undermine effective behaviour change and green marketing strategies. This paper advances understanding of the adoption and practice of EAs from the household perspective by drawing together the limited and fragmented work which has examined EA participation from the household perspective, and integrating it with two relevant literatures\u2014the household decision making literature and the literature which has examined EA participation from the individual perspective. The literatures are drawn together into a framework covering household member involvement in EA adoption and practice, the decision making process leading to EA adoption, decision making strategies and communication within the household, the maintenance of repetitive EAs, the factors influencing household member involvement including activity types and situational, household and individual characteristics, and how the individual characteristic of relative interest is shaped. We make a theoretical contribution by presenting a holistic understanding of the adoption and practice of EAs in households, which was previously lacking from the EA participation literature. By highlighting the elements of the conceptual framework that require further investigation, the authors also set out an agenda for research into EA participation from the household perspective.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su7055793","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,12]],"date-time":"2015-05-12T11:05:31Z","timestamp":1431428731000},"page":"5793-5818","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["A Conceptual Framework of the Adoption and Practice of Environmental Actions in Households"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Anna","family":"Scott","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Keep Britain Tidy, Development House, 56-64 Leonard Street, London EC2A 4LT, UK"}]},{"given":"Caroline","family":"Oates","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sheffield University Management School, University of Sheffield, Conduit Road,  Sheffield S10 1FL, UK"}]},{"given":"William","family":"Young","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sustainability Research Institute, School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds, Woodhouse Lane, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Zoological Society of London, Global Footprint Network, and European Space Agency (2012).
