abstract = {Behavior change towards sustainable lifestyles such as
adoption of renewable energy technologies is a significant
element in the fight against anthropogenic climate change.
Increasingly, private households can be observed to take up
different renewable energy technologies; however, the
introduction of these technologies is not accompanied by a
broader adoption of pro-environmental behaviors, as recent
studies have shown. At the same time, group settings and
social capital seem to promote the uptake of wide-ranging
sustainability measures. Six case studies were conducted
among different sustainable community projects in Germany to
shed light on why and how broad sustainability
transformation in such settings comes about. Findings
suggest that successful implementation of wide-ranging
sustainable measures and changes in behaviors in community
settings result from motivations that originate from an
interplay of social needs, social capital, social norms, and
environmental concern. Strong environmental attitudes, not
among all, but a critical mass of members and key
individuals are necessary. The desire for community and
other motives, along with social influence and social norms
push individuals with low environmental concern to
participate in sustainable endeavors.},
