ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explores domestic environmental labour's typical absence in research and policy concerned with domestic life and its intersections with late modern environmentalism. It discusses the ways in which engagements with nature bound up in domestic consumption practices are shaped not only by technology, environmental values and politics, and household routines, but by labour as well. The chapter shows the various ways in which the labour associated with domestic greening cuts across the home and into broader resource politics in multiple ways. A focus on domestic environmental labour highlights some new ideas and helps to explain the ambivalent role of 'green technologies' in environmental citizenship. Feminists in resource politics sometimes call for greater independent ownership of resources by women, although there is always the chance of dispossession.
