Nonpoint Source Forum 2006 <br />More than Brochures -- Real Change <br />One Workshop, Choice of Days <br />September 6 or 7, 2006 <br />PPA Event Center, Denver, CO <br />Most people know that to protect the environment they should recycle more, water their lawns <br />less, get out of the car and take a multitude of other steps to reduce their ecological footprint. <br />This is the starting point. <br />However, research indicates that each form of sustainable behavior has its own set of barriers and <br />benefits. Our workshop presenter, Doug McKenzie -Mohr, has been working to incorporate sci- <br />entific knowledge of behavior change into the design and delivery and evaluation of community <br />programs. <br />A professor of environmental psychology at St. Thomas University, New Brunswick, McKenzie <br />assisted in the development of Canada's public education efforts on climate change, served as a <br />member of the Canadian National Round Table on the Environment and Economy, and presented <br />science -based community programs around the world. <br />The workshop covers four key areas: <br />How to identify the barriers to a desired behavior , such as reducing lawn watering or <br />pesticide use, <br />How to use behavior change "tools" to design more eff ective programs, <br />How (and why) to pilot test a program, and <br />How to evaluate the impact of a program once it has been implemented. <br />For more information and registration, go to http: / /www.npscolorado.com/ <br />
