And, at the top of the hour, we'll prank local university students by hiding all the recycle bins to see how much trash we can get them to generate. ::WAHOOGA:: Finally, one lucky winner is going to take home the top prize for conserving the most gas! ::fart noises:: Then, coming up after the show, a roundtable discussion of issues related to conservation and how ABA can provide meaningful solutions to ecological crises.

And while recording by candlelight might save electricity, it will take more than that to promote lasting green change. But, before we get into the research, Rob stops the show cold by declaring himself the Scrooge of environmental causes requires counteracting by sharing positive vibes with some listener mail and the Reading Rainbow song. It's not ABA Inside Track without a musical number. Articles for next week: Clark, R.N., Burgess, R.L., & Hendee, J.C. (1972). The development of anti-litter behavior in a forest campground.

If you want to know which treatments, you'll have to go 5 rounds with Diabolical Dr. D in the ring, suffer through Rob's snooty New England anecdotes, and share your favorite foods to eat while reading journal articles with Jackie. Only then will you have the joy of hearing a discussion about Carr and Durand and the epic Tale of FCR. And you won't even need to use an FCR response (or should that be FC response?) to witness the heartwarming return of the lag schedule. This podcast is like EZ tasks 100, folks!

Well, there are a couple big reasons and we've got the articles that explain it all. But that's next week. In our preview episode this week, we head back down our ethical decision-tree with another chance to practice talking with non-behaviorist colleagues. And, in a shocking twist of fate, one of our hosts will be featured in the New England Behavior Analyst. It's a 33% chance of guessing which one, but a 100% chance for awesome podcast!
