Description: Nutrient losses from common lawn care practices, such as fertilization, have been identified as significant contributors to Non Point Source Pollution (NPS) in New England’s watersheds. In order to create an effective educational outreach program to stimulate the use of more environmentally responsible lawn care practices, and reduce this source of NPS, a significant amount of social science research has been conducted to inform the design of a marketing program informed by the principles of community based social marketing.
