Byrnes et al (2015) documented the basic level
of environmental actions of boat owners in
environmentally sensitive locations. While
their research showed there was no significant
difference across different types of operators,
the research revealed that valuable
improvements could be achieved without great
expense or difficulty.
Coles et al (2014) identified a need for greater
energy literacy amongst small business owners
in their survey. Such a lack of understanding
underscored the importance of empowering
the supply and demand sides with knowledge,
which will allow empower all stakeholders to
design and implement solution approaches,
which will deliver sustainable
benefits.
Reflecting upon the wider lack of scientific
and sustainability literacy of consumers, the
business owners in the papers by Coles et al
(2014) were unable to understand which
practices were more beneficial to undertake.
