Motivations for Sustainability Pioneers: A Look at Historical Correlations that Lead to Pro-Environmental Behavior

Abstract

This paper looks at how factors such as access to “wild” places, camping, and engagement in outdoor sports as a youth affect the likelihood of engaging in pro-environmental behaviors as an adult. Using survey results that analyze how experiences in youth correlate to careers in sustainability or towards more sustainability focused lifestyles, this research looks to understand how this information could be used to motive more people to become sustainability pioneers.
