This paper examines the determinants of greening households at European level. It comprises an extensive literature review, together with econometric analyses of European-wide household data.
The analysis uses survey indicators for the description of household greening and sustainable  behaviour.
These indicators represent respondents’ subjective perceptions of the importance of environmental problems, as well as their revealed preferences, such as green votes, the use of renewable energy for heating, green consumption behaviour, insulation of houses and flats, waste, recycling, and tourism. Among others, the determinants of green household behaviour comprise housing situation, type of region (town or countryside) and social milieu. Household characteristics such as  age profile, number of household members, and working conditions are also considered.
