RESUMO

This study approaches pro-environmental behavior aspects and the variables that can influence it, regarding generation and destiny of solid residues originated on restaurant activities in the city of Campos do JordÃo, SP, as seen by restaurant owners and employees. The adopted methodology was the Stern proposal to classify the pro-environmental behavior with focus in two proposed types: environmental activism and environmentalism in the private sphere. Results do not evidence environmental activism; there were indications of proenvironmental activism in the private sphere. The most mentioned pro-environmental behavior was the residue sorting and separation in different types, for selective collection. The purchase decision by restaurants did not highlight the consideration of environmental questions. Immediate costs â product price â indicates what will be purchased. Personal competences to perform residue separation are present. The environmental concern, noticed in intervieweesâ opinions and even their decision do participate in this study, allows to suppose a pro-environmental attitude. Contextual factors seem decisive. The organization of public systems facilitate selective collection of solid residues is probably responsible for this pro-environmental behavior being mentioned more frequently. As a result, among the group studied, the increase in public policies for selective collection has the major probability of adherence; the group can approve other policies, if contextual conditions are established enhancing their advantages making the behavior possible.
