October 23, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm EDT
FreeFrom 2017-2019, Root Solutions trained more than 20 higher education institutions in how to use behavioral insights to save paper. Based on real-world experiences at these institutions as well as from other paper reduction campaigns, this webinar aims to help sustainability practitioners understand, select, and effectively apply behavioral interventions. Drawing on AASHE and Root Solution’s recent publication Turning the Page: A Behavior Change Toolkit for Reducing Paper Use, it will share a process for selecting target audiences and behaviors, understanding the drivers of your audience’s behavior and selecting the right suite of interventions to change behavior.
