چکیده

Approaches that provide new opportunities, such as coordinating a campus rummage sale to reduce end-of-year trash disposal and start-of-year purchases, have met with great success. More direct approaches to persuade individuals to change their behavior—for example, posting pleas against food waste and reminders to turn off lights—have had less clear results, and even engendered some resentment.
