News Finding: A daily reminder of our carbon output, displayed on a meter in the garage or near the back door, would make it much harder to be oblivious--and might even inspire new behaviors.
Paper Finding: Agreement between coders was initially high (r ¼ 0.90, p < 0.001) and further discussion resolved discrepancies.
News Context: "We suggest that costs are not ignored in communications (designed to discourage energy usage)," they write, "but that environmental considerations should also be highlighted." It seems like a sound idea. A daily reminder of our carbon output, displayed on a meter in the garage or near the back door, would make it much harder to be oblivious--and might even inspire new behaviors.
Paper Context: ). Agreement between coders was initially high (r ¼ 0.90, p < 0.001) and further discussion resolved discrepancies. Exploring frequency of codes between HEC conditions showed that participants often mentioned both financial and environmental reasons, emerging as the highest category in both energy and cost conditions, see Fig.
