The use of electronic devices has been greatly increased with the rapid developments in technology, which resulted in a huge increase in energy consumption in the world. As a result of increasing energy consumption, and because fossil fuels are both limited and harmful to the environment, a search for alternative energy resources has begun. The ide...

... For example, powerful 'others', such as popular supermarkets, food delivery and catering firms, could strengthen moral norms by encouraging consumers to take home excess food after attending dinner parties or to donate excess food to charities. In addition, to further minimize food waste coming from 'good provider' practices, community-based action-learning programmes on how to deal with excessive food(Krumdieck et al., 2012) could be arranged at specific times of the year before special occasions that are associated with increased food waste. For behavioural change to occur in Singapore, social marketing programmes could link reduced food waste with social status and face in order to counteract the notion of conspicuous waste, according to which food waste is a signal of wealth and power(Block et al. 2016) In Australia, on the other hand, it is important to minimize the norm conflict to curb food waste from consumers, given that the 'good provider' norms seem to be prioritised over moral norms. ...
One-third of all food produced in the world is lost or wasted, which has negative consequences for societies and the environment. Thus, curbing food waste is critical to securing human well-being and protecting the environment. This study examines the drivers of household food waste decisions by investigating the activation and deactivation of moral norms and introducing the concept of the ‘good provider’ in an augmented norm-activation model (NAM). A survey of 643 consumers in Australia and Singapore explores the ‘good provider’ norm as a driver of food waste behaviours in both cultures. For Australians, ‘good provider’ norms suppress intentions to avoid food waste, most likely to provide for the immediate family, which can be a motive that overrides moral concern about food waste in an individualistic culture. For Singaporeans, ‘good provider’ norms do not suppress food waste intentions, possibly due to the value placed on thrift by a long-term-oriented culture. The paper significantly extends the previous research on norms, culture and sustainable consumption and provides policy and practical implications for curbing food waste in different cultural contexts.
... For example, the word design is used in many different parts of the creative and engineering professions where the actual purpose and methods used are quite different. The main point is that the InTIME method requires coach for the brainstorming methods to design and run the transition brainstorming sessions (Krumdieck 2012). ...
... Engineers may have limited experience working with communities and stakeholders. There are discussion and workshop methods that can be used, including the TransitionScape workshop approach, which has been demonstrated for InTIME projects with communities who are concerned with the mega-issues of unsustainability (Krumdieck 2012). Define the activity system and the key energy resources to be studied for transition. ...

This article integrates the concepts of sustainability and quality improvement into a systematic approach to an organization's sustainability. The article: (a) presents a literature-based model that incorporates the factors that drive an organization's sustainability; (b) describes how sustainability is operationalized through a systematic approach to quality improvement; (c) discusses the advantages of a systematic approach to sustainability; and (d) shares with the reader literature and experientially-based lessons learned about the approach.
On the way to building the sustainable world, transition engineers respond to risks, not disasters. Transition engineering will emerge as the way by which society reduces both fossil fuel use and the detrimental social and environmental impacts of industrialization.
