Plastic Psychology: A Case Study in Indonesia

Plastic behavior depends on culture, systems and trust. Environmental psychologist Dr. Anastasia Voronkova discusses the PISCES project and its research into how people in Indonesia buy, use, and discard plastic. This episode explores environmental psychology, waste banks, religious practice, community context, and the limits of campaigns that treat behavior as an individual choice. This case study of plastic behavior change and plastic waste in Indonesia shows what Western institutions can learn from approaches developed in the majority world.Episode Guests: Dr. Anastasia VoronkovaMore information about Dr. Voronkova hereFollow Dr. Voronkova on XMore information about PISCESMore information about the episode and the Plastic PodcastEpisode Transcript  and more information on the Pine Forest Media WebsiteFollow Pine Forest Media on Instagram @pineforestmediaHosted, produced, and edited by Clark Marchese Cover art and PFM logo by Laurel Wong. Theme music by Tadeo Cabellos  Hosted on Acast.
