Farmers Markets and Single-Use Plastic: Why Environmentally Conscious Consumers Don’t Bring Reusable Bags

This study looks at the role of Extension in helping local officials reduce plastic bag use at farmers markets in three Lake County, OH communities. We distributed free reusable bags to shoppers and conducted an education and outreach program. We then took observations to determine if the free reusable bags were being used. We also invited shoppers to take a voluntary survey about their environmental attitudes, why or why not they use the reusable bags, and how best to reduce plastic bag use moving forward. Results from the study suggest that supplying free reusable bags at farmer markets is not an effective strategy for Extension professionals attempting to reduce plastic bag use. Instead, we recommend working with local officials to develop financial incentives and disincentives tied to the type of bag option shoppers use, implement plastic bag bans at markets, and conduct locally-focused education and outreach. Although shoppers’ environmental literacy and desire for sustainability is high, it is shown that behavior change is unlikely to occur without financial or policy incentives.

Development of Mangrove Ecotourism in Bandar Bakau Dumai Based on Disaster Mitigation

Natural disasters that occur in the city of Dumai such as degradation of mangrove forests, coastal abrasion and tidal flooding can be mitigated by maintaining the existence of mangrove forests. Mangrove forests have important benefits on the coast of the city of Dumai, so they need to be protected together. One of the efforts to maintain the existence of mangroves can be through the use of mitigation-based mangrove ecotourism, especially in the Bandar Bakau area of Dumai City. The data collection technique in this study used a quadratic transect and added secondary data from the relevant agencies. Based on the results of the study found 9 types of mangroves that have a role as mitigation in ecotourism locations and there are biota supporting tourism, namely 13 species of birds, 7 species of reptiles and 16 species of molluscs. To maintain the sustainability of the ecotourism area of Bandar Bakau, several disaster mitigations have been carried out for retaining cliffs (revetment), reforestation of mangroves, construction of facilities that adapt to the environment, coastal education, and outreach to the community. In addition, it is very potential to develop several other forms of mitigation such as: beach nourishment, breakwater or construction of embankments to minimize abrasion, as well as construction of diversion canals and tidal flood control gates, strengthening regulations. legislation, making land use policies, policies on flood and wave resistant building standards, policies on exploration and community economic activities, promoting local cultural wisdom of maritime communities.

COVID-19 Conversations Within Black/Brown Minority Communities: A Stakeholder and Psychoeducation Approach Using Zoom/Facebook Live

As communities of color are disproportionately affected by COVID-19, there is an urgent need for dissemination of timely and accurate information to community members. In this article, we describe a stakeholder approach for the implementation, evaluation, and lessons learned from COVID-19 Conversations, a program developed and delivered virtually by researchers and academics at Northwell Health. The goal of the program was to address the mental, physical, and psychosocial needs of community members. The program used Zoom/Facebook Live to deliver interactive discussions on topics ranging from health education on COVID-19 and mental health to resources for unmet social needs. This interprofessional, cross-sector collaboration highlights the importance of public health interventions aimed at reducing the spread of COVID-19 through easy online access and culturally relevant community education and outreach.

Picturing science: using art and imagination to explore new worlds

Artistic methods have been used throughout the history of science as a tool for research, dissemination, education and outreach. Traditional artistic approaches provide the flexibility to explore and integrate ideas, promoting hypothesis generation and inspiring creative thinking. We describe two artistic approaches that we have applied in our own research: the use of intuitive metaphors to make new connections and present scientific subjects in an interpretable manner, and an integrative approach that synthesizes diverse sources of data into a self-consistent image. The process of creating artistic renderings inspires us to examine scientific data from new angles and capture the current state of knowledge within a broader context. Artistic hands-on activities and non-traditional media like fashion and video games have the power to engage new communities, sparking curiosity for science and increasing public understanding. Overall, translating scientific concepts into art is a powerful tool for exploring scientific data as part of research, as well as bridging the gap between the scientific community and the general public.
