Dr. Smith, can you tell us more about what inspired you to create this unique program? GUEST: Absolutely!

This course aims to fill that gap by exploring psychological and behavioral factors that influence composting adoption. HOST: Interesting.

There's growing recognition of the importance of pro-environmental behavior change and community engagement in waste reduction strategies.

GUEST: The main challenge is overcoming misconceptions about composting and waste management. Many people view it as a complex or time-consuming process. Our course aims to provide practical tools and effective communication strategies to address these concerns. HOST: It's vital to address misconceptions and make composting accessible to everyone. Looking toward the future, what do you envision for the industry and this area of study? GUEST: I believe we'll see increased emphasis on sustainable practices and waste reduction. This course prepares professionals to lead the way in inspiring positive change through composting and promoting pro-environmental behavior. HOST: Thank you, Dr. Smith, for sharing your insights and expertise with us today.
