Key findings from this study
This research indicates that:
- Green food practices and waste management substantially enhance environmental values during family celebrations.
- Green environment and activity-related practices did not produce significant measurable effects on value formation.
- Participation in visible, practical green actions during celebrations strengthens individuals' perceived environmental values.
Overview
This cross-sectional survey examined how adopting green practices during family celebrations influences individuals' environmental values in Lucknow and Kanpur districts. The research analyzed 354 respondents who recently organized or attended family celebrations such as weddings, birthdays, and religious ceremonies. Three dimensions of green festival involvement were assessed: green food practices, green design and waste management, and green environment and activities.
Methods and approach
Data collection employed a cross-sectional survey design targeting 354 respondents with recent experience organizing or attending family celebrations. Structural equation modelling tested hypothesized relationships between green celebration practices and perceived green values. Three analytical dimensions structured the green festival involvement construct: green food practices, green design and waste management, and green environment and activity-related practices.
Results
Participation in green celebration practices significantly enhanced individuals' perceived green values. Green food practices demonstrated strong positive influence on environmental values. Effective waste management practices also showed strong positive associations with green value development. Green environment and activity-related practices, however, did not demonstrate statistically significant effects on value formation. The magnitude of effects differed substantially across the three practice dimensions examined.
Implications
Visible and tangible green actions integrated into family celebrations may serve as effective mechanisms for nurturing environmentally responsible values. These social settings provide opportunities to embed sustainable practices into culturally significant moments. The differential effectiveness of specific practice types suggests targeted interventions focusing on food systems and waste management could optimize value transmission during celebrations.
Family celebration contexts offer scalable platforms for environmental value development across urban populations. Integration of green practices into these routine social occasions may facilitate broader adoption of sustainable lifestyles beyond celebratory events. Recognition of celebration-based intervention pathways could inform public health and environmental sustainability programs in urban Indian contexts.
