Dr Lynn E. O’Connor, one of our contributors, sent me a note last night asking for our help with one of the projects that she’s working on with one of her doctoral students.  Basically they are interested in evaluating how much feeling guilty about not doing enough to help protect our environment motivates people to act in a more altruistic way.  Or, as she succinctly puts it:

“Volunteers: We’re inviting you to participate in an anonymous online study of emotions and the environment: http://www.eparg.org/wright/green/  Please join us.”

As you probably are aware, I’m a big believer in anything that can help us stave off the impending climate catastrophe - certainly looking at what can motivate people to take action ought to be near the top of the list.  I urge you to join me in helping Dr. O’Connor and her student gather additional data to help them better understand the psychology at work here.  You can do something that can potentially make a difference and who knows, perhaps you’ll learn something about yourself in the process.
