Is the Prius Eco-Friendly, or Ego-Friendly? – Dan Ariely

Complete video at: fora.tv “If you wanted to design a problem that people would not care about, it would basically look like global warming,” says Duke University behavioral economist Dan Ariely. His proposed solution? Manipulate variables people care about to solve problems, like their egos. —– You hear him frequently on public radio — now meet the incomparable Dan Ariely when he introduces his new book The Upside of Irrationality! The 2008 economic crisis taught us that irrationality is an influential player in financial markets. But it is often the case that irrationality also makes it way into our daily lives and decision-making — in slightly different and vastly more subtle ways. In this enthralling follow-up to his New York Times bestseller Predictably Irrational, Dan Ariely shows how irrationality is an inherent part of the way we function and think, and how it affects our behavior in all areas of our lives, from our romantic relationships to our experiences in the workplace to our temptations to cheat. Blending everyday experience with groundbreaking analysis and new research into our how we actually make decisions, Ariely explains how expectations, emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities. Using data from original experiments, he draws invaluable conclusions about how — and why — we behave the way we do, and reflects on ways we can make ourselves and our society better. – The Booksmith Dan Ariely

Create your own DIY guide at www.howcast.com or produce your own Howcast spots with the Howcast Filmmakers Program at www.howcast.com You want to help the environment, but how do you identify “green” products outside a health food store? Here’s how. To complete this How-To you will need: To be willing to spend a bit more Step 1: Start with packaging Look for products with the least amount of packaging, and try to buy ones that indicate that they are packaged with “biodegradable” or “recycled” material. Tip: Whenever possible, buy in bulk to cut down further on packaging. Step 2: Know your chemicals Have a basic understanding of what chemicals are bad for the environment. Major no-no’s include nonylphenol ethoxylates (or NPEs, which are detrimental to aquatic life), phosphates, petroleum-based cleaners, and chlorine. Tip: If you had trouble with the periodic table in high school, it might be easier just to look for the Green Seal. Step 3: Choose organic Anything labeled “organic” is going to be eco-friendly. It’s probably going to cost more, too, but that’s the trade-off for a cleaner environment. Step 4: Make the efficient choice When it comes to appliances or windows, look for the Energy Star label, which indicates that the product is energy efficient
