The folk at Good Travel Co. love travel that is fair, responsible and sustainable. That’s why they’ve launched they’re sustainable hotels service which markets hotels that support:
- environmental sustainability
- cultural sensitivity
- community development
- architectural conservation
This got me thinking about moments of change. When you go to a sustainable hotel, away from the norms of everyday living, you become open to new ways of green living/attitudes/behaviours. And hopefully you’ll adopt these, and take them on, beyond your stay.
Times/Places/Moods where people are receptive to change are a great way to break behavioral inertia and create an imbalance between doing nothing and doing something. Can you think of any relevant moments of change for green? Here are a few:
- New Car – message about low co2 driving
- New Home – message about low co2 living (the rationale behind the EPC)
- New Baby...
- New girlfriend/boyfriend...
- New job/school...
‘New’ seems to be a good platform to heighten propensity to change (a bit like an incentive). Can you think of others?

Is 'new' the platform, of just before that i.e. 'old'?
moments of change is a super. platform.
it's one thing to latch on to them, but how about creating them too?
