For the majority of Western citizens (for example, urban dwellers largely identified with the modern world system), climate change challenges the everyday practices that define our 'ecological habitus'. Defined as 'the embodiment of a durable yet changeable system of ecologically relevant dispositions, practices, perceptions, and material conditions' (Kasper 2009, p. 318), the ecological habitus consists of each individual's ecologically relevant, taken-for-granted practices. At the individual level, knowledge of climate change leads to a perceived failure of the everyday habitus because the many daily carbon-producing activities in which individuals living in modern Western societies engage clash with new expectations for a low carbon lifestyle, leading to feelings of anxiety and threats to ontological security (Adams 2013, p. 13, Lertzman 2015). The perceived inadequacy of the habitus can lead to a number of possible individual responses (Sztompka 2004, p. 184-188). One is to will- fully ignore the information on climate change by avoiding reading or watching news stories related to the topic (Shepherd and Kay 2012). Second, individuals can engage in ritualism and implicatory denial. This is perhaps the most common form of reaction to climate change. The science of climate change is well known and understood, yet individuals continue their daily practices unchanged such as flying frequently, buying a large house, maintaining high consumption levels.

(Leahy et al. 2010, p. 857) By engaging in this type of cognitive dissonance, individuals are able to maintain their everyda…
