This 🌍 #EarthDay, the impacts of human behaviour on the planet are impossible to ignore. But why do some pro‑environmental actions stick - while others fade? Environmental psychologists research how values, norms & place shape sustainable behaviour in everyday life. www.bps.org.uk/member-netwo...

🌍 #EarthDay Reaching #NetZero isn’t only a technical challenge — it’s a human one. Environmental psychology shows how behaviour change, social norms and supportive environments can accelerate climate solutions. Learn more about @bpsenvpsych.bsky.social here: www.bps.org.uk/member-netwo...

Happy #EarthDay 🌱 Nature isn’t just beautiful — it’s good for us. Environmental psychology shows how contact with natural environments improves wellbeing, attention and emotional connection to the world around us. Learn more about @bpsenvpsych.bsky.social here: www.bps.org.uk/member-netwo...
