Illegal Dumping and Littering in Industrial Areas
2016-01-07 00:42:04 UTC
I am researching the barriers and benefits for two behaviours:
illegal dumping and roadside littering at an Australian industrial estate.
If anyone has worked on a campaign to reduce littering or illegal dumping, specifically in an area with industrial busineses or beside a waterway, I'd be very keen to hear from you. At this point, we are undertaking Steps 1 and 2 of CBSM methodology only.
Thanks, in advance

Erosion and Sediment from Building Sites
2015-07-22 01:08:43 UTC
Healthy Waterways in Brisbane, Australia is keen to launch a CBSM campaign that tackles the problem of sediment running from construction sites and into waterways. Has anyone run a campaign that focusses on the behaviour of developers, builders, sub-contractors or local government compliance officers on this topic? There has been many information campaigns but I have not found much about targetted behaviour change and would like to draw on any experience in the CBSM community.
Thanks, in advance.

Re: Providing refillable water bottles at events

Great, thanks very much Katherine. Interesting that none of the stallholders have had issues about not being able to sell water. The economic arguments seem to be strongly in support of selling water but it may not be the issue we think it is. I'd love to see a report after you've held your event, perhaps with some figures on how many water bottles you think you may have prevented from being used and how many refillable bottles you gave away. It's also great to see so many places trialling bottled water free events and hopefully that will become the norm in the near future. Thanks again.

Providing refillable water bottles at events
2013-12-17 22:56:39 UTC
As part of a campaign to increase people's use of reusable bottles, I'd like to know whether anyone has had experience in using events to change behaviour. Can anyone provide case studies and examples of when an event has not sold bottled water but has instead provided reusable bottles (were they branded?) and free refill stations? I'm aware of the water refill options at the annual Woodford Folk Festival and the recent Caloundra Music Festival which banned bottled water. Has anyone used events as part of a CBSM campaign, encouraging normative behaviour? How have arguments around decreased sales of bottled water been handled? Thanks for any assistance.

Re: Public Drinking Fountains and Reusable Water Bottles

Thanks for your comments. I've contacted Yarra Valley Water and they have been extremely helpful. Their Choose Tap program looks very detailed and they are open to sharing the Choose Tap app with other regions in Australia.

Public Drinking Fountains and Reusable Water Bottles
2013-11-26 23:58:10 UTC
As part of a Regional Behaviour Change Campaign in South East Queensland, Australia, I am looking for any case studies, resources and statistics around people's use of public drinking fountains and reusable water bottles. These are behaviours we want to encourage, in order to reduce plastic litter in our waterways.
Has anyone run a CBSM campaign on these types of behaviours before? If so, I'd love to know about the project and share resources.
