This book addresses the question of domestic environmental labour
from an ecofeminist perspective. A work of cultural geography, it
explores the proposition that the practice and politics of domestic
labour being undertaken in the name of 'the environment' needs to
be better recognized, understood and accounted for as a phenomenon
shaped by, and shaping of, gender, class and spatial relations. The
book argues that a significant yet neglected phenomenon worthy of
research attention is the upsurge in voluntary, and yet mostly
unrecognized, domestic environmental labour in high-consuming
households in late modernity, with the burden often falling on
women seeking to green their lives and homes in aid of a
sustainable planet. Further, because domestic environmental labour
is undervalued in governance and the formal economy, much like
other types of domestic labour, householders have become an
unrecognized and unaccounted-for supply of labour for the greening
of capitalism. Situated within broad global debates on links
between ecological and social change, the book has relevance in the
many jurisdictions around the world in which households are
positioned as sites of environmental protection through green
consumption. The volume engages existing interest in household
environmental behaviour and practice, advancing understanding of
these topics in new ways.
