Can sustainable consumption be inherited? The children of Czech voluntary simplifiers
Original language description
In 1992, Hana Librová conducted in-depth interviews within Czech households that were distinct by their environment-friendly patterns of consumption. These families can be considered as part of the "voluntary simplicity" stream, even though they themselves do not identify with either the simplicity or the environmental movements. Librová has developed her research into a longitudinal study with two more stages in 2002 and 2015. Additionally, many other sociological studies have explored pro-environmental practices and more sustainable lifestyles in recent decades. However, the reproduction of such lifestyles within families remains under-researched. Therefore, in 2015, we replicated Librová's method and conducted interviews with the 21 adult children who have grown up in the families from Librová's original sample. We tackle the question of whether the documented environment-friendly lifestyle can be reproduced, and if so, in what ways.
