Soal 3

Considering the harmful environmental effects produced by pollution, and


depletion of natural resources, numerous scholars and public officials have called for
increased urgency in motivating people to engage in pro-environmental behaviors. One
significant way of meeting such calls involves our behavior as consumers. For example,
people often have the option of switching from conventional products to energy-efficient or
reusable “green” products. Yet, while green options are becoming more widely available,
many barriers to change remain. For instance, people are notoriously reluctant to change
familiar patterns of behavior, and making a switch to green behaviors often necessitates
making sacrifices (e.g., paying more for a less effective product).

Base on research on energy conservation in the wake of the 1970s energy crisis,
researches have continued to investigate strategies that promote conservation behaviors.
However, they need to consider the underlying motives for conservation in order to develop
an effective strategy. In fact, those motives have been identified. Each of them suggest
different strategies for stimulating conservation. Therefore, public officials should choose
one best strategy to conserve environment.

According to an environmental concern perspective, people are assumed to


engaged in conservation primarily because they, at same level, basically care about the
security of the planet and its inhabitants. To motivate green behavior from this perspective,
an effective strategy involves better informing people about the plight of the environment.
Accordingly, information campaigns about the dangerous state of the planet should lead
people to behave in a pro-environmental fashion, even if going green requires some
sacrifice on the part of consumers. In contrast, a rational economic perspective suggest that
conservation is primarily determined by economic reason. As a result, an effective way to
motivate people to go green is by making green product cheaper, more efficient, and
providing consumers with financial incentives (e.g., tax breaks) to buy them. To motives
related to environmental concers and economic advantage can certainly spur conservation.
