Tools of Change Web
site Founded on the principles of community-based social
marketing, this site links a growing bank of case studies and ‘lessons
learned’ with planning guides and worksheets, to help program planners and
implementers learn more quickly from their collective experience. It
highlights approaches that have been particularly successful so that they
can be replicated and built upon, as well as "turnkey" programs
that have been ‘pre-packaged’ for use by others. The site is full of
examples that are presented to each user in a customized manner, according
to his or her interest profile. Users can save their planning work between
sessions, and can download the resulting draft plans and work summaries to
common word processors for further refinement. The site hosts over a dozen pollution
prevention case studies.
