Wow, your information has been very helpful, and I thoroughly enjoyed your video. This has provoked much thought, and has enforced a lot of things I have been thinking about implementing. I would deffinately like to see some more books and studies. My email is [email protected]
Thanks so much!

Karen,
Im finding more often than not, people will not change their behaviour based on information (Posters, newsletters, ect.) but will change behaviour to be more effective. Introducing an incentive would help create this (people think: I sort, I get rewarded, therefore sorting is an effective use of time.) I also like your Green Team Idea, as it raises awareness about recycling (people think: someone has a full time job dedicated to this, its an important issue.)

Im working on the same project. This is the best solution I have been able to come up with:
Asking an open ended question (ie. why do you recycle? ________), and then categorizing their response ourselves so we can statisticly analyze the results.
However, this creates a large bias, and assumes that we will get similar results.
Does anyone have experience collecting statistics on open ended survey information?
