InformPersuadeRemind

Inform Phosphorus in fertilizer, yard waste and pet waste feeds algae in our lakes. Stormwater runoff travels through storm sewers to lakes, streams and wetlands. Everyone lives in a watershed. Here are steps to reduce runoff.

Persuade It’s the right thing to do. Because my neighbor does. Because I said so. It’s easy. It’s in my (my children’s, my community’s, my country’s) best interest

Remind Repeat to be “heard.” Remind to reinforce the message. But don’t forget about the “goats” (i.e. don’t nag).
