Cultural norms influence what behaviors are seen as appropriate, such as recycling or using public transportation, which can lead to widespread adoption or rejection of environmentally friendly practices.

Observing others and modeling behavior can lead to the diffusion of environmental actions within a social network, as when a community adopts recycling because it's a norm among peers.

An individual's alignment with particular social groups that are seen as environmentally conscious can motivate them to engage in similar behaviors to maintain their group identity.

Communities with stronger networks, trust, and norms of reciprocity may be more effective at organizing and engaging in collective environmental actions like community gardening or local conservation efforts.

Believing that one is supported by others in taking environmental actions can increase the likelihood of those actions, as with a supportive family encouraging recycling at home.

Environmental behaviors can be influenced by the desire to gain social status or prestige, such as owning an electric vehicle as a status symbol, which can contribute to more sustainable consumer choices.

Unwritten rules about acceptable behavior can influence environmental behaviors, like the expectation to reduce personal carbon footprint, which creates social pressure to conform to environmental practices.

The shared belief in a community’s ability to achieve objectives, like reducing pollution, can enhance cooperative efforts in environmental endeavors.

Increased knowledge about the environment and awareness of the consequences of one’s actions can shape pro-environmental behaviors, like energy conservation and waste reduction.
