Abstract This article makes the case that environmental sociology is in the midst of a significant shift of problematics, from the explanation of environmental degradation to the explanation of environmental reform. In this article, the author suggests that there are four basic mechanisms of environmental reform or improvement: environmental activism/movements, state environmental regulation, ecological modernization, and international environmental governance. He suggests further that although "green consumerism" is one of the most frequently discussed mechanisms of environmental improvement within environmental sociology and in movement discourse, green consumerist arguments generally tend to rest on one or more of the other four mechanisms of environmental reform. One of the main tasks of environmental sociology will be to assess which of these four mechanisms is the most fundamental to environmental reform. The author concludes with the hypothesis that environmental movements and activism are ultimately the most fundamental pillars of environmental reform. Journal Information Organization & Environment aims to publish rigorous and impactful research on the management of organizations and its implications for the sustainability and flourishing of the social, natural and economic environment in which they act. To this end, it searches for contributions to the academic, managerial and policy debates related to the sustainable development of organizations, grounded on sound social (e.g. economics, political science, sociology, psychology, history, law, and all business domains), natural and/or life science research. In addition to the exploration of novel concepts and the advancement of theory, the experimentation of new methodologies and designs, and the empirical validation of theoretical insights, O&E; encourages the study of new phenomena, not completely explainable with extant knowledge, and the consequent launch of novel theoretical and empirical lines of inquiry. Finally, it welcomes the registration of experimental designs, in labs but especially on the field, committing to publish the results of well-executed registered studies, regardless of the scientific outcome.
