Environmental Management Concepts and Practical Skills

This case study incorporates the different plans discussed in Chapter 7 and the diffusion of an environmental innovation. This is a case history demonstrating how change agents working with the EPA developed and implemented Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in schools in 41 states in 18 years and how, for more than a decade, School IPM became a national initiative. The case study first appeared in A Worm in the Teacher’s Apple: Protecting America’s School Children from Pests and Pesticides (Lame 2005)
