Webinar 2
Conservation Through Technology
January 26, 2011
12 - 1 p.m. CST

Presentation 1:  Real-Time Resource Use Feedback: Empowering Conservation
John Petersen, Ph.D., Director, Environmental Studies Program
Oberlin College
How do people change their water and electricity consumption when they see the impacts of their use in real time? What makes them use less? How can peer pressure, impact information and friendly competition change behavior? How can that information be systematically collected, analyzed and provided to the user at the time of resource use? A team led by John Petersen is exploring what kind of feedback mechanisms lead to behavior change and reduce environmental impacts.

Presentation 2:  Networked Neighborhoods for Eco-conservation (NECO)
Jon Bartholic, Ph.D., Director of the Institute of Water Research, and Jeremiah Asher, Project Manager
Michigan State University
Jon Bartholic is leading a team that is developing ways to use social media to drive individuals and neighborhoods to take conservation actions that matter for the Great Lakes. By encouraging friendly competition among neighbors, NECO accelerates installations of rain barrels, rain gardens, porous pavement, and many other green practices that add up to significant improvements in not just local, but larger Great Lakes watersheds.
