How to make plastic-free society<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With the Chinese recycling import ban, there’s a whole lotta behaviour change coming for Australian households and businesses. As they say on TV “this changes everything”. It’s a good time to pause and reflect on what works in waste-related behaviour change.
\nHere’s a neat summary of state-of-the-art principles for waste behaviour change from Louise Kloff<\/a>\u00a0at UNSW (thanks for quoting me Louise), published in The Conversation<\/em>. She emphasises being positive, empowering, making action simple, and “make people feel that they are part of an inclusive movement that is supported by the community and relevant to their own lives.”
\nNice work Louise!
