Carolyn raises an excellent question on what tools/technologies to use to communicate with the "public" and stimulate their participation in environmental decisionmaking. The answer isn't simple, because the public is not homogenous. Its many segments are at varying levels of technology adoption. Additionally, some people grasp words and data tables, while others absorb information better through pictures and other visual displays. Using old standby approaches (e.g., town meetings, brochures, fact sheets, radio/TV) side-by-side with an array of newer technologies is essential to being inclusive.
