Just relocated to the toot.wales instance, so will repeat my #introduction. I'm an #environmental #psychologist at Swansea University. I work on #behaviourchange in #transport, #trafficsafety, #energyuse and #wateruse. I work with #engineers and #architects to create a #lowcarbon #builtenvironment that works for people. In looking at these topics I use the #psychology of #habits and #socialnorms and look at the influence of the #builtenvironment and #culture on people's everyday #behaviour
