Facilitating community environmental science
Improving the environment means changing people's day to day habitual behavior. Changing behavior means changing perspectives and changing actions. Tellus Consultants have found one of the best ways to do this is to involve people in scientific activities.
Getting people out of their habitual surroundings into contact with the world of nature has a profound effect on their viewpoint. When people begin to study water quality or ecology they see for themselves how they, and their community, effect the biological balance of nature. They find their own solutions.
