Introduction to Sustainable Living -- SPARSH CHANNA

The use of Earth’s natural resources has been in use for so long and now they are at the verge of being over.
Sustainable living is the lifestyle that describes living by using less of Earth’s natural resources and aims at
preserving the natural resources. We often use the term Earth Harmony living or Net Zero Living to define
Sustainable Living.
Sustainable living is the practice that aims at reducing the Carbon footprint by means of different measures and
altering the methods of transportation, energy consumption, reusing, recycling etc. Sustainable living aims
towards making a positive impact towards climate and environment and making less use of resources.
Sustainability is the practice that aims at meeting the needs of present generation and also preserving the
resources of all the resources by making less/no wastage of resources.

 Sustainable living depends upon 3 main pillars.

1) Social – Social sustainability is an important pillar as it leads to well-being of a group, individual and
also social well-being of the country. There are many things that are taken into consideration to improve
social sustainability like providing education, ending poverty, helping people get justice, no
discrimination etc.
2) Environmental pillar – This pillar gets the most attention as everyone is joining hands to save the
environment and to reduce packaging waste, carbon footprints. Many companies are using alternative
methods to reduce environmental waste as it will benefit the planet as well as will have a great positive
impact for the company. For e.g. Many companies are now providing reusable and recyclable bags so
that it will have a positive impact on the environment and is also cost effective for the company.
3) Economic pillar – Economic pillar indicates all the economic tools and measures that will be taken by
the country to lead a sustainable living and it also leads to using the sustainable products to their best
advantage so that it provides long-term benefits and establishes profitability. Making profit without
harming the environment.

Advantages of Sustainable Living

1) Sustainable living will lead to Energy Saving.
2) Sustainable living helps in waste management and waste reduction.
3) The problem of climate change will slow down.
4) Pollution will decrease.
Disadvantages of Sustainable Living
1) Going into sustainable Living mode will time and will require a lot of efforts.
2) Sustainable living requires the use of organic products which are costly.
3) Being motivated is the main thing in Sustainable living.
4) Sustainable living requires a lot of investment and can be a costly measure.

Objectives of Sustainable Living

1) Economic growth will become stable
2) It will lead to the conservation of natural resources.
3) Going green will lead to protecting the environment.

Attitude of people towards Sustainable Living

People are moving towards Sustainable Living and everyone is having a positive attitude towards going green
but still there are some people who are still not having any knowledge of sustainable living and are not
educated about it, so they show a different attitude towards it.

Negative emotion towards Sustainable Living

People are still not taking Sustainable living seriously. Many people still believe that all this will have an
impact on their pocket and it wouldn’t be pocket friendly and needs huge investment so people are having a
negative emotion towards sustainable living.

Social Influence
Many companies are influencing people to go green and are leading towards sustainable living. For e.g.,
shopping marts are now giving carry bags that are made out of recyclable material that can be recycled and will
reduce environmental wastage and now many companies are making clothing range, footwear made of waste or
material that can be recycled so as to promote Sustainability.
Going green will have a huge impact and will also help us preserve and protect the natural resources for long
term so that we can use them efficiently and also save it for the future generations. Going green is a time-
consuming process but is worth the time as it will not only save the nature, environment and planet but will also
safeguard us, the humans living on Earth.
UN (United Nations) also took the initiative in 2015 and started the initiative names SDG (Sustainable
Development Goals) that will lead to sustainable living and it has 17 goals that are made to make better living
and a sustainable future for all. They have aimed to achieve this goal by 2030.

Literature Review of Relation Between Different Variables

- Yash Tomar
Relation between Gender and Behavioural Intentions of an Individual
Gender has a significant impact on our day-to-day choices. Since Human Behaviour is determined by
Behavioural Intention, it is seen that that gender can impact the behavioural intentions of an individual. In case
of being environment conscious and buying products that are less harmful for our environment, Gender is an
important determinant.
The difference between the values and mindsets of different Genders propels the difference in their Behavioural
Intention as well. There are multiple factors for the Behavioural Differences between Genders, “the distinctions
can emerge from Cultural Environment, Societal Environment and Biological Factors”. The Sociocultural
norms also have significant impact on the Behavioural Intention of different Genders as well, for example – It is
seen in our society that boys are given more freedom to make decisions while girls are not given the same
freedom which hinders their potential ability to develop decision making behaviour.

Relation Between Behavioural Intention and Occupation of an Individual

The relation between Behavioural Intention & Occupation is important because it provides an understanding of
how the occupation of an individual affect his/her behavioural intentions. Occupation of an individual defines
the daily routine, what kind of people an individual deal with and what mental state an individual is in.
In case of Behavioural Intention of an individual of being environment conscious and buying products that are
less harmful for our environment, occupation plays an important role.

 Salaried – People with this occupation mostly have a limited income which can shape the Behavioural
Intention of an individual. Social Interactions in the day at this occupation can also influence the
Behavioural Intentions of an individual.
 Professionals – Social Interactions or the need to be in good books of seniors or boss can be a
determinant factor in affecting Behavioural Intentions of an individual in this type of occupation.
 Business – In this type of occupation Perception of Business by customers & competitive edge propels
the Behavioural Intentions of the individual. For example – If a business claim to be environment
friendly, it gives them a unique competitive edge as customers would think that by buying from an
environmentally friendly business, they are also contributing towards sustainability.
 Free Lancers – Behavioural Intentions in this occupation can be influenced by Social Interactions or to
give perception of being what a customer demand. In case of sustainability towards environment,
Freelancer occupation can affect the Behavioural Intentions of the individual in a positive manner.

Relation Between Behavioural Intention, Age & Occupation of an Individual

Age and Occupation combined have a significant impact on the Behavioural Intentions of an Individual. In
what kind of occupation and at what age an Individual is working has noteworthy influence on Behavioural
intentions.
For Example – In case of being Environmentally Conscious if a young individual is in the occupation of
Business, then the individual would try to implement new measures for increasing sales such as stopping usage
of plastic in the business but on the other hand an old individual would look at it as an inconvenience. Both are
in Business occupation but have different Behavioural Intentions due to Age. So, it can be said that Behavioural
Intentions of an individual are significantly dependent on Age & Occupation.

Relation Between Age & Attitude of an Individual

Attitude of an individual towards a particular thing can be significantly influenced by the Age of the Individual.
Different Age groups have differences in their mindsets, their perceptions and their way of approaching certain
situations in life. People with older age tent to have a more measured and conservative approach in general and
younger people are generally more volatile and proactive.
For Example – In case of environmental sustainability, people of younger age who are constantly made aware
of the progressive degradation of our environment through different mediums like social media and their social
circle, these people intend to make a conscious effort towards being more environmentally friendly. While,
older people sometimes find it difficult to understand what all the fuss is about. They don’t want to change their
habits easily and would often hesitate to do so even if it is proven to be beneficial for everyone.

Relation Between Negative Emotions and Gender

The mental and emotional health of an individual is probably the most deciding factor in an individual’s day-to-
day life choices. Emotions strongly impact the overall personality of an individual whether it is male or female.
“Negative Emotions are probably one of the most detrimental aspect of an individual’s personality. Negative
Emotions can cause disruptions in life of an individual and in life of people close to that individual”.
In case of Environmental Sustainability, Negative Emotions will always cause a pessimistic scenario
irrespective of Gender but the seriousness of the scenario will have some differences. Gender definitely affects
the Negative Emotions of an individual. Generally, it is noticed that Females are more emotionally volatile in
nature and Men tend to follow more emotionally rational approach in life. Therefore, Females can face more
serious issues with Negative Emotions in their life than Men.

Relation Between Social Influence, Positive Influence and Attitude of an Individual

Social Influence & Positive Attitude combined have a significant impact on the Attitude of an Individual. An
individual gets socially influenced multiple times a day based on his/her environment. Positively influencing
means convincing an individual to do something that you want them to do. Both these factors combined have a
significant impact in formation of an individual’s Attitude towards a particular thing.
In case of Environmental Sustainability, Social Influence can make an individual aware of the detrimental
effects of using certain day-to-day objects and Positive Influence can determine his/her approach that how
he/she replace those harmful objects like plastic bags with more environmentally friendly alternatives like Jute
bags. Social Influence and Positive Influence together has shaped the Attitude of an individual towards
Environmental Sustainability.

Relation Between Attitude and Gender of an Individual

Gender and Attitude of an Individual towards a particular thing are significantly correlated. Gender drives the
Attitude of an individual. In many day-to-day instances Gender is the most distinct factor in forming the
Attitude of an Individual. Right from childhood the distinctions between different Attitude of Males and
Females are visible, Boys tend towards an Attitude of liking to play with toy cars & guns and Girls tend
towards an Attitude of liking dolls and other games.
For Example – In case of Environmental Sustainability, the distinctions in Attitude of different Genders can be
clearly observed. Generally, Females are more considerate of their actions and their environment than Males.
Therefore, it can be said that Females have a significantly more responsible Attitude towards environmental
sustainability than Males.

We have two samples of males and females we are analysing who has negative emotion when it comes to sustainable living
We will be performing 7 step analyses for this here,
X1--> average of males
X2--> average of females
Step 1: - Setting up of Null Hypothesis
H0: - There is no significant difference between the negative emotion towards sustainable living between males and females
X1 = X2
Setting up of alternate hypothesis
H0: - There is a significant difference between the negative emotion towards sustainable living between males and females
X1≠X2
Step 2: - Determining the appropriate test
The above provided quantitative samples are as follows
N(males)= 79
N(females)= 35
Here as N > 30 so we will be using Z test in this situation
As we are comparing the mean of 2 samples which are the samples of males and females so we will be using 2 Sample Z test in
We are assuming unequal variance here.
Step 3: - Setting up level of significance
The level of significance will be set at 0.05 (as it is not provided)
Step 4: - Setting up decision
rule
The value of Z test is -1.40 which lies between the level of significance and represents that the females usually have slightly mo
X2>X1
Step 5: - P value
Here we are analysing on the basis of two tailed hypothesis
p two tail=0.16
Step 6: - Analysing the result
As it is confirmed that the p value is > 0.05 so we will be using Null Hypothesis
Step 7: - Conclusion
There is no significant difference between the negative emotion towards sustainable living between males and females

sustainable living
H2= There is a positive and significant impact of positive influence on Attitude Towards
sustainable living
Step 2: - Level of
significance  
The level of significance is set at 0.05
Step 3: - Findings from the result
1. The value of R square = 0.42 signifies that there is a 42% impact of social influence and positive
influence upon the Attitude of a person towards Sustainable Living
2. The Value of Regression Coefficient in both the cases turned out to be positive so it means that
both social and positive influence are directly proportional with Attitude of the person, which means
that "The better the social and positive influence on a person the better would be the attitude of the
person towards Sustainable living".
3. The p value of social influence = 0.49 which means that the impact of social influence on attitude is
not significant, as 0.49> 0.05
4. The p value of positive influence = 0.00 which means that there is a significant impact of positive
influence upon Attitude of a person, as 0.00 < 0.05
Step 4: - The Regression Equation or The
Regression Model  
Attitude= 0.84 + 0.05(Social Influence) +0.71 (positive
influence)  
Step 5: - Analysis of model
From the above equation we can understand
that: -
1. If we increase the social influence by 1 unit the Attitude would increase by
0.05 units
2. If we increase the positive influence by 1 unit the Attitude would increase
by 0.84 units Male Female

We have two samples i.e., Male and Female and we will be analysing their attitude towards sustainable
living.
Independent Variable: Gender
Dependent Variable: Attitude
Let's start with the 7-Step hypothesis testing to know the same.
X1= Average of males
X2= Average of Females

Step 1: Framing of Hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis (H0) : X1=X2
There is no significant difference between the averages of male attitude towards sustainable living and
averages of female attitude towards sustainable living.
Alternate Hypothesis (HA) : X1<>X2
There is significant difference between the averages of male attitude towards sustainable living and averages
of female attitude towards sustainable living.

Step 2: Determining the Appropriate Test:

Both the data sets which we are dealing with are quantitative in nature.
N1= 79: N2= 35
Sample size for both the variables that is males and females is greater than 20. This means that we will apply
Z-test on this data set.
Also, we can observe that we are comparing the mean of the two samples that is the mean of the two
segments of the population (male and female) so we will apply two sample test on this. Hence, we will apply
Two sample Z test on this data.

Step 3: Setting up of Level Significance:

The level of significance will be set at 5% that is 0.05. (as not provided we will assume it to be 5%.

Step 4: Setting Up The Decision Rule:

Value of Two Sample Z-Test: -2.28
This means that X2, which is the average of female attitude towards sustainable living is greater than X1,
which is the averages of male attitude towards sustainable living.
Hence, X1<X2

Step 5: Collecting The Data:

As we are not having enough evidence in favour of any 1 variable, so we will analyse based on two-tailed
hypothesis.
P Two Tail= 0.02

Step 6: Analysing The Results:

As we can see that Z calculated -2.28 < -+1.96 Z tabulated, therefore, we will accept alternate hypothesis and
reject null hypothesis.
Also, from P two tail value, it can be observed that P two tail value is less than 0.05, therefore, we will accept
alternate hypothesis and reject null hypothesis.

Step 7: Conclusion:
From the Z-test (Calculated and Tabulated) and P value it can be concluded that:
There is significant difference between the averages of male attitude towards sustainable living and
averages of female attitude towards sustainable living.

We have four categories of occupation: Salaried, Professional, Business and Free Lancer
and we will be analysing whether there is social influence of sustainable living on different occupations or
not.
Independent Variable: Occupation
Dependent Variable: Social Influence
Let's start with the 7-Step hypothesis testing to know the same.
X1= Salaried
X2= Professional
X3= Business
X4= Free Lancer

Step 1: Framing of Hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis (H0) : X1=X2=X3=X4
There is no significant difference in averages of social influence of sustainable living on different occupations.
Alternate Hypothesis (HA) : X1<>X2<>X3<>X4
There is significant difference in averages of social influence of sustainable living on different occupations.

Step 2: Determining the Appropriate Test:

The data sets which we are dealing with are quantitative in nature.
N1= 71, N2= 4, N3=11, N4=28
Also, we can observe that we are comparing the mean of the four samples that is the mean of the four
segments of the occupation, which is an independent variable (Salaried, Professional, Business and Free
Lancer). Hence, we will apply ANOVA Test on this data.

Step 3: Setting up of Level Significance:

The level of significance will be set at 5% that is 0.05. (as not provided we will assume it to be 5%.

Step 4: Setting Up The Decision Rule:

Value of F calculated: 0.86
And, average of social influence of sustainable living among professional is less than free lancer which is less
than business which is less than salaried.
X2<X4<X3<X1
Also, social influence of sustainable living is more consistent in business, then in free-lancer, then in
professional and is least consistent in salaried.
V3<V4<V2<V1

Step 5: Collecting The Data:

As we are not having enough evidence in favour of any 1 variable, so we will analyse based on P value.
P Value= 0.47

Step 6: Analysing The Results:

As we can see that (F calculated) 0.86 < +-2.69 (F tabulated), therefore, we will accept null hypothesis and
reject alternate hypothesis.
Also, from P Value, it can be observed that P Value is greater than 0.05, therefore, we will accept null
hypothesis and reject alternate hypothesis.

Step 7: Conclusion:
From the ANOVA Test (Calculated and Tabulated) and P value it can be concluded that:
There is no significant difference in averages of social influence of sustainable living on different
occupations.

and attitude and we will be analysing the impact and direction of social influence and negative emotions on
attitude.
Independent Variable: Social Influence, Negative emotions
Dependent Variable: Attitude
Let's start with the 7-Step hypothesis testing to know the same.
Step 1: Framing of Hypothesis:
(H1)
There is a negative and significant impact of Negative Emotions on attitude towards sustainable living.
(H2)
There is a positive and significant impact of Social Influence on attitude towards sustainable living.

Step 2: Determining the Appropriate Test:

The data sets which we are dealing with are quantitative in nature.
N1= 114, N2=114, N=114
Also, we can observe that we are comparing the impact of independent variable on dependent variable, that
is impact of social influence and negative emotions on attitude. Hence, we will apply Regression Test on this
data.

Step 3: Setting up of Level Significance:

The level of significance will be set at 5% that is 0.05. (as not provided we will assume it to be 5%.

Step 4: Setting Up The Decision Rule:

R square is the Coefficient of Determination which is 0.09. Hence, Social influence and Negative Emotions
together are impacting attitude by 9%
Coefficient or regression tells the impact and direction of relationship. The values of Regression Coefficient
are positive for Negative emotions and social influence which means that both directly impact the attitude
of a person.
Attitude= 2.70 + 0.14(n) + 0.22 (s)

Step 5: Analysing The Results:

From the regression equation it can be concluded that,
If the social influence increases by 1 unit, the attitude will increase by 0.22 units.
If the negative emotions increase by 1 unit, the attitude will increase by 0.14 units.
Step 6: Conclusion:
As we can see that P value of negative emotion is 0.13 > 0.05 ( not significant)
P value of social influence is 0.01 < 0.05 (significant)
Therefore, There is a positive and significant impact of social influence on attitude and there is a positive
and non-significant impact of negative emotion on attitude.
