Hi,
My name in Aeroyn Galer I'm a intern working for the Office of Sustainability at the University of Utah. We are just finishing up our first ever campus wide sustainability pledge. So far we have had around 3000 people participate.
I was wondering if you had any suggestions for what are next steps should be regarding what to do with the data and successful follow up strategies with our pledge participants.
So far we have identified several issues that are Office is working of raising awareness and we now have a e-mail list from our pledge participants. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as we would love to capitalize upon people's engagement and participation in this campaign,
Also here is a link to our pledge

Hello Aeroyn,
I great example I have seen of using pledges and then following up that committment is 1 million women.

Once you pledge how much carbon you will remove from your life you can update and monitor how your behaviours are changing and measure your reductions on an ongoing basis.

Hi Aeroyn,
I am also aware of the project: Days of Change http://daysofchange.org/. They have specific pledge cards for households (and individuals), schools and organisations.
The pilot project in Western Australia is still underway. You can contact project staff through the website.
Hope this helps!
