Notas do Editor
In the spring of 2009, N.C. DPPEA partnered with U.N.C. Charlotte to conduct a study linking social media with behavior change. The study aimed to increase recycling tonnage and positive attitudes towards recycling. It was hypothesized that upon receiving this social media intervention, students would use this information to influence others in their residence hall to recycle more frequently and that the recycling rates for the residence halls would increase. Residents from 3 dorms were surveyed about their daily habits, knowledge about recycling, and recycling choices. During the initial surveying of students, the amount of recyclables from each residence hall were collected and weighed for four weeks to achieve a recycling baseline.
In an attempt to increase recycling, the students from the three dorms that indicated their desire to participate in the project were emailed information about recycling. The social media interventions were established with 27 students, ten males and 17 females. During the months of February and March 2009, the participants received four consecutive weekly emails from RE3.org which provided a link to a social networking site (Facebook.com and YouTube.com), reminding the student to recycle and asking them to remind their friends to recycle.
After four weeks of emails, a follow-up survey was conducted during a two week time frame in April 2009 to determine any attitudinal or reported behavior changes towards recycling.Additionally, the weights of the recycled material from the three residence halls were again collected and measured for four weeks in April 2009 to see if the amount of recycling in the residence halls had increased.
Before week one, no participant was a fan of UNC Charlotte Recycling or the RE3.org page on Facebook. It is unknown if any were following RE3.org on Twitter or had seen the YouTube page prior to the study. At the end of the four weeks, one known intervention participant had become a fan of UNC Charlotte Recycling. However, during the time of the study RE3.org’s Twitter following nearly doubled in size as well as RE3.org’s YouTube page saw an increase in visitors. While these social media trends might correlate with the RE3.org weekly emails, they do not reflect causation.
Comparing the initial survey to the final survey showed a definite increase in the number of students from all three halls who claimed to “always” or “frequently” recycle in their residence hall. The total amount of recyclable material collected from Sycamore Hall decreased. However, students from Cedar Hall and Hickory Hall increased the amount material they recycled in their residence halls specifically plastic bottles.
Educating students about recycling is important, however according to the students surveyed, the majority of them felt they had sufficient recycling knowledge but forget to do it. The recycling barriers identified in this study were 1) not thinking about recycling or 2) inconveniently located recycling bins. According to the student surveys, they receive news and information via television (82%), the Internet (51%) and friends/family (66%). Two of these strategies lend themselves well to the use of social media. The continued use of this economical and demographically appropriate approach is recommended to remind people to recycle and help them influence their peers to recycle. So let’s learn more about how to do it and specifically how to do it from your phone.
To get started, you have to make sure you have the right phone and the right cell phone service plan. Mobile computing requires a Smartphone, such as a Blackberry or an iPhone. Your cell phone plan must include a media bundle/data package, meaning your phone can access the Internet. If you have an older cell phone, it is unlikely that applications will be created for your phone. Applications are really only being designed for new phones. Just because a phone can send text messages doesn’t mean it can access the Internet. So, now we’re going to take a poll. In the poll box that has appeared on your screen, tell us which type of phone you have. Thank you for your responses.
There are many benefits to mobile computing. Mobile computing can make your communication more efficient.From your phone, you can update your social media sites in real time. For example, during an event, you may think of something you’d like to post to Twitter, and you take a video that you’d like to post to Facebook. Well, you can do both at that very moment from your phone. You don’t have to wait until you get back to your work and sit down at your computer. Now let’s say you are coordinating volunteers at an event. At the last minute, the event gets rained out. So, you take out your phone and post a tweet to inform the volunteers that the event has been rescheduled. Another benefit to mobile computing is that, from your phone, you can access the social media sites that may be blocked on your work computer.So, now raise your hand if social media sites are blocked from your work computer. Thanks for your responses. Now Clare will talk to you about mobile applications.
Talk about mobile friendly sites

Megan will now talk about applications for the Blackberry.

Have you used the Tumblr site before?
Kelley will now show you Twitter via her older generation smartphone.
Kristen will now talk about some social media time saving devices.
Once you begin having a presence on multiple social media sites, maintaining the sites can become time consuming. So, save time by linking your social media together. Then, when you update one site, another will automatically be updated. For instance, Facebook can be linked to MySpace and Twitter. LinkedIn can be linked to Twitter, Slideshare and Blogspot. The Recycle Guys Facebook page is linked to the Recycle Guys Twitter feed. There are a few steps to creating this link.
First, go to www.facebook.com/twitter and log into your personal Facebook account.
A list of your Facebook pages will appear. Adjacent to the page you want to have linked to Twitter, click “Link to Twitter.”
You will then be redirected to Twitter. Here you will log into your Twitter account to allow Facebook to access your Twitter account.
Here you can see that the Recycle Guys and the Recycle More NC Facebook pages are linked to Twitter. By checking the boxes, you can control which features of your Facebook page are linked to Twitter. For instance, you can set it so that any status update, photo or note will be posted to Twitter. I have shown you how to link Facebook to Twitter, but you can also go the other way and link Twitter to Facebook. It just depends on which you want to interface with more.
Now I will explain how to link LinkedIn to other social media. When signed into LinkedIn, click the “More” button at the top and then click “Application Directory”. This is where you can link various social media sites with your LinkedIn account. Kelley has linked her SlideShare presentations, Blogspot blog and her RE3.org Twitter account to her LinkedIn account so it’s immediately updated when the other accounts are.
All social media have the share function. The share function lets you easily send something to your other social media by simply clicking the share button. For instance, this is the Recycle Guys YouTube channel. Once you click on a video, you will see the Share button. Click on this to see a list of social media to which you can post the video. Megan will now tell you about another way to save time when managing your social media.
