Hey, the list is here at last! Looking forward to some interesting dialogue here. I'm conducting a literature search as part of a project that conducts educational outreach about an environmental issue (used oil recycling) using a lesson taught in ESL (English as Second Language) classes. Can anyone point me to previous work that either * addresses environmental messages to recent immigrants, or * uses ESL classes as a venue for social marketing? Thanks for any info!

Connie, Check out "A Local Jurisdiction Tool Kit: Outreach to Minority Communities on Used Oil and Household Hazardous Waste Programs" http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/Publications/UsedOil/52005003.pdf Under Outreach to Minority Communities the results of a 2003 survey: identifying what used oil and HHW programs jurisdictions have in place, and how they communicate with minority communities. It includes survey findings pertaining to what programs jurisdictions utilize and which of these are tailored specifically to the minority community, which programs jurisdictions believe work better, what methods they use to communicate with the minority community, and what programs jurisdictions would like to have in order to better serve the minority community. This information provides a way for jurisdictions to identify what programs other jurisdictions are using or want to use in reaching out to the minority community.
