Relying on a nudge--a simple, non-paternalistic tool that spontaneously triggers behaviours in a volitional, predictable and expected way--as an education instrument, and more particularly relying on social labelling, this paper demonstrates that an extremely frugal protocol can foster children's intentions to behave pro-environmentally. In an…
