...so our book is really a roadmap for how to get out of our own heads and question our assumptions and use evidence to design campaigns that really do get at the barriers that people face when they try to do the right thing by the environment." -Rod Fujita, Ecotopia 03-29-22

In 2017, teens from the island of Mo’orea had a realization: the #coralreefs they grew up around were disappearing due to changing ocean conditions. Understanding the importance of coral reefs, Coral Gardeners was born to restore the reefs. bit.ly/3inrMVC #Conservation

In Hounslow, researchers launched an initiative to make active traveling the #norm. The interactive project proved to be effective reducing traffic by more than half. #Sustainability #BehaviorDesign #Rewards @LBofHounslow @harrisamarc @profdicrone
Raising awareness is often insufficient in creating lasting change - e.g., southern regions in #California falling short of the goals set by the Governor several months ago. A landscape analysis uncovers barriers to change. Check out Chapter 3 of our #book to learn how! @CA_DWR
Over half the global population supports efforts to protect the #environment & combat #climatechange. Because we instinctively crave #BELONGING, sharing social norms like these can encourage others to adopt the majority's beliefs & #behaviors. @UNDP
One way to shift behavior is to align your message to existing environmental frames. Hawai'i is using frames like redemption and resilience to include tourists as part of the solution to environmental degradation through #regenerativetourism. #malamahawaii @HawaiiHTA
An NPR interview highlights the challenges firefighters face in combating #ClimateChange megafires. Because we are most likely to accept information from those we trust, using the right messengers can improve credibility and inspire #EnvironmentalAction.
Last but not least in our 1st round of #thanks - To our current & past staff, #volunteers, & #book contributors: We are so lucky to have been blessed with the most passionate, capable, & creative team! This would not have happened without you! #teamwork #sustainability #nonprofit
Next on the list: A million thank yous to the #experts & #leaders that took the time to review & endorse our book! The kind words you sent us reignited the fires & gave us the strength we need to tackle the next chapter of our mission. You're our #heroes! Thanks for your support!
A big thank you those that supported us through #Kickstarter, #grants, & #donations. Without this kind of support, we never would have been able to execute on our mission and bring forth the next wave of the environmental movement. YOU made it happen! Thank you always & forever!
