Stories That Spark Sustainable Action
Feature a neighbor who switched to refill stations after noticing plastic overflowing on recycling day. Show her first awkward attempt, the monthly savings, and the cleaner pantry. Invite readers to tag a friend who would love a refill challenge this weekend.
Behavioral Nudges Without the Guilt
Show that others already act: “Join 3,142 local households saving water this month.” This gentle norm works better than scolding. Hotels did it with towel cards; communities can do it with compost. Share a friendly norm-based line you plan to test.
Behavioral Nudges Without the Guilt
Micro-commitments—checkboxes like “I’ll bring a tote twice this week”—prime follow-through. Let people share badges or wall-of-fame shout-outs to increase accountability. Invite readers to make a two-action pledge below and tag a partner to keep them honest.
Make Impact Visible and Verifiable
Turn results into human-scale comparisons: “This solar week avoided emissions equal to driving from Boston to Philadelphia,” or “enough energy saved to power 40 laptops all day.” Ask readers which everyday comparisons make impact feel real in their community.
Make Impact Visible and Verifiable
Pair claims with simple methodology pages, open spreadsheets, and recognized certifications where applicable. Plain language beats jargon. Invite questions, and update figures when new data arrives. Tell us what proof your audiences ask for most, and we’ll draft a template.
Channel Strategy: From Feed to Follow-Through
High-converting landing pages with a single job
Craft a focused page: clear value, one action, social proof, and a brief FAQ addressing doubts. Keep forms short. Add a progress bar for multi-step pledges. Share your landing page goal below, and we’ll suggest one optimization to test.
Email sequences that nurture action
Use a three-email arc: spark curiosity, reduce friction, and celebrate first results. Segment by interest—home energy, transport, food. Include quick-reply questions to surface obstacles. Reply with your toughest email challenge, and we’ll propose a subject line to try.
Short-form video and live, local moments
Hook in three seconds, demonstrate one step, and end with a precise call to action. Pair videos with pop-up events or challenges to turn views into participation. Comment with a 15-second script idea, and we’ll help refine your hook.
Copy, Tone, and Voice That Earn Trust
Plain, vivid, and human language
Swap jargon for everyday words and concrete images. “Cut your shower by one song” beats “reduce water consumption.” Test reading aloud; if it sounds natural, you’re close. Share a sentence you’d like simplified, and we’ll rewrite it together.
Test, Measure, Improve, Repeat
Test headlines, hero images, and calls to action that anchor decisions. Keep one variable per test, stop early bias, and document learnings. Drop two headline options below, and we’ll vote on which to pit in your first experiment.
Test, Measure, Improve, Repeat
Track sign-ups that complete first actions, repeat behaviors week two, and referrals that invite friends. These show lasting change, not vanity metrics. Share one behavior metric you’ll adopt, and we’ll suggest an easy way to capture it.
