@SpyroDvd This Tanooki Mario is awesome!

Even wondered what influence #media has on attitudes and behaviours? As part of her PhD, @KimBorgAU explored the impact of traditional and social media on #singleuseplastics norms.

[Dr Kim Borg @KimBorgAU]

*New publication*
Do our perceptions of "normal" regarding #singleuseplastics change if we see more news, documentaries, and social media?

Interested in the effectiveness of #EcoLabels to increase #circular production and consumption? @BehavWorksAus has just had our #research published, free to read for 3 weeks until 22 June!

[Celine Klemm @CelineKl_]

Curious if the wide-spread use of eco-labels is effective? My colleagues & I published a new review of evidence-open access till 22 June: https://t.co/mF4yoJq9Dh

[Jenni Downes @JenLouiseD]

New research shows #businesses can engage with the #CircularEconomy at four different levels: Make, Ally, Buy, Standby. Here's a great explanation, with examples from the European telco/mobile phone industry! https://t.co/WcPc78SSdo

[Jenni Downes @JenLouiseD]

Great explanation by @RoseReadMobile on the issue with the #waste export ban timeline!

Get the best, avoid the rest. Before choosing the behaviours you want to change, you need to decide which ones will have the most impact. In Chapter 5, we’ll show you how to define, identify and prioritise them down to a manageable number.

Hopefully one of MANY investments in new technology and infrastructure to increase Australia's #recycling of household waste onshore: Visy's advanced paper pulping system, through the #RecyclingModernisationFund: https://t.co/Z0V4By0BMu

[Jenni Downes @JenLouiseD]

Glad @Battstewardship is receiving #productstewardship funding for #recycling of #batteries. Hopefully @elsadominish's hard work will inform some of the future direction. Also nice to see @Woolworths joining @ALDIAustralia in providing dropoff stations!

Do some parts of your packaging leave you scratching your head at the bin?
The #AustralasianRecyclingLabel (ARL) displays clear instructions on how to #recycle every part of your packaging, including soft plastics. 👉Check it before you chuck it! https://t.co/3jdKILVZa9 for info.

[Jenni Downes @JenLouiseD]

Great example of #refillable #packaging, now available in 25 retailers in Vic!

You have to talk to people to understand them - but how do you start? Chapter 4 of The Method Book came out on April 1 and talks to this topic, explaining the many ways in which effective stakeholder consultation can make better behaviour change programs.

Changing behaviour is hard but it is possible to make better choices for yourself and the environment. I got to sit down with @Baz_DuBois from @Channel10AU's @livingroomtv to chat about how #behaviouralscience can help

In this insightful podcast, our rising media star and author @KimBorgAU @MonashMSDI talks to mainstream lifestyle presenter Barry Du Bois @livingroomtv about #behaviourchange and what we need to do to change our environmental behaviours & habits. https://t.co/I9dCfivV7d
