@JustinChao1127 Good luck! Is the restoration project close to campus?

Week 8 of the internship. Trying to look for someone interested in volunteering in wetland restoration.#ENVIR491

@GahaganAmelie @LieselHans We’re so close to the end! This has been such a great summer and I’m feeling good about everything we’ve accomplished!
English
As we wrap up #ENVIR491, I’d like to thank my amazing site supervisor @LieselHans for mentoring me throughout this internship and being a huge pillar of support. Also a well-deserved shoutout of gratitude to my fellow intern @rheashinde2, I could not have done this without you.

One big takeaway from my research is that defaults play massively into behavior! Most people tend to go with the status quo, so just switching something from opt-in to opt-out, for example, can have a massive impact on whether a desirable outcome is reached or not #ENVIR491

@GahaganAmelie This looks perfect for your research. I love it when I come across the exact right source
English
Hopping on this post to spotlight Anita Etale, Marilou Jobin, Michael Siegrist for this week’s bibliography source shoutout!
It’s been a great starting place for my #ENVIR491 Capstone research!

New research by @cb_eth @ETH_en: Tap vs. bottled water consumption mostly driven by affect, social norms and convenience

@enviranna @oliviatjohnson An automatic extra week would definitely make me breathe a little easier!
English
@oliviatjohnson It would be nice to automatically have more time to complete the deliverable(s). I'm working until the end of the quarter, and having another week to complete the deliverable after officially finishing the internship would be ideal. Regardless, it is great that we can extend!
English
I also want to thank @GahaganAmelie for being such a great internship partner! She’s really helped me rally as we get close to the end of the quarter #ENVIR491

Fixing leaks is one of the most impactful actions you can take to prevent water waste. In a single day, a running toilet can waste as much water as taking 15 showers. Find videos, tips, and tools at savingwater.org/indoors/toilet…

I want to take a moment to thank @SeattleSPU for all of their help this summer. The behavior change team hosted a great site visit and provided so many resources. Plus, I got to participate in a Leak Sweep (who knew toilet talk was so important?) #ENVIR491

Another shoutout to these two! This has been such a useful paper #ENVIR491
Center for Applied Behavioral Science (CABS)@CABS_MDRC
Why are take up rates – the percentage of people who are receiving a benefit for which they are eligble – so low? @dafnabearson and @CassSunstein discuss barriers to take up, the effects this has on an individual’s decision making and more here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

@JustinChao1127 This is absolutely terrible! Is this the first time something like this has happened during your internship?
English
Just finished my week 7 internship yesterday. Someone dumped tires in my wetland area, which is really frustrating. Other members and I spent a lot of time moving them toward the road to ask governmental agencies to remove them. #ENVIR491

Look at this bug that made me scream alone at the Taylor Mountain site this past Monday 🥰 I’ve never seen one before! #ENVIR491
English
@ErinSchobbe Thank you for sharing this! This is my first time encountering this article and it really opened my eyes
English
A source I keep mentally checking back in on throughout both my research and work is this article on the history of the term 'carbon footprint'. in.mashable.com/science/15520/…
English
@KCPubHealth what are you doing to safeguard the health of those who don’t have the privilege of staying indoors during this upcoming wildfire smoke season? outdoor workers, unhoused people, pedestrian commuters, etc. (1/2 ) #envir491
English
@SeattleSPU Which type of behavior change seems more impactful: incremental habit change or intermittent big actions? For example, the difference between someone taking shorter showers, or staying on top of new, efficient utilities for their home? #ENVIR491

@CassSunstein (Holberg Prize Winner) & @R_Thaler (Nobel Prize of Economics Winner) are the authors of Nudge, one of the most influential behavioral economics books in our modern day. Definitely experts in the field 😎#ENVIR491

Another super helpful resource on social comparisons through utilities. This is an Opower and Puget Sound Energy study! #ENVIR491
