Abstract
Within the domain of sustainable entrepreneurship, the practice of picking up litter emerges as a critical yet underexplored aspect of environmental stewardship. This study delves into the trade-off between the perceived costs and benefits that influence individuals, particularly walkers, in their engagement with litter picking activities. Through qualitative research methods, including semi-structured interviews, this research investigates the perceived costs and benefits associated with litter picking, shedding light on the underlying factors that shape behavior in this context. By delving into the complexity of litter picking behavior, this study not only contributes to the existing literature on sustainable practices but also offers practical insights for fostering a culture of environmental responsibility. Ultimately, this research seeks to be of guidance to serve strategic interventions and initiatives that promote sustainable behavior, enhance environmental quality, and cultivate a sense of collective responsibility towards preserving our natural surroundings. Keywords: picking up litter, perceived costs, perceived benefits, commons dilemma.
