  Thank you so much for this post Julie. I'm reading it on my first day of work in 2022, and what a wonderful note to start on. It has always bothered me that I don't have a way to talk about, or understand, the role of love in my work and my projects, and I look forward to learning from bell hooks. Also, thanks heaps for giving me those new words to replace "target audience"!

• Keeping Leaf Litter out of Stormwater Drains - Seeking Tested Strategies.

  2020-06-12 07:23:36 UTC

  Hi, I am looking for successful strategies used to increase collection of leaf litter before it blows onto roads and down stormwater drains. Follow up behaviours could be composting, using leaves for mulch, placing them in a kerbside green waste bin or delivering them to a green waste recycling facility, but the key behaviour of interest is removing them from the vicinity of stormwater drains. I would be very grateful for specific examples or suggestions on how to find them in the literature.

  The attached image shows a common practice in Canberra - sweeping leaves ONTO to the road in anticipation of a (now very infrequent) municipal street sweeping service. This was encouraged 20 years ago when street sweeping was more frequent and the alternative practice was to burn the leaves, causing poor air quality.

  Hi Karen

  I'm in the early stages of an ESC behaviour change program in Canberra. I'd love to have a chat about how your program evolved, if I could? I'm contactable at [email protected], and on 02 6207 4591 or 0466 365 951.

  Cheers

  Plaxy
