Aaron. I appreciate your taking the time to send these links. I'm actually just at the beginning of the research phase for applying a CBSM approach in a water and energy conservation initiative.
This tenant-landlord dynamic is interesting, because there is no direct financial incentive for tenants to modify behavior.
As things move forward, I will keep the forum updated. Thanks again.

Hi Myrtle, thanks for your suggestions about measures that save water. However, I'm actually interested in social marketing/educational campaigns or initiatives that led to behavioral change among tenants.
For instance, turning off the tap when washing dishes or taking shorter showers.
Thanks so much for your comment,
Amy

Encouraging Water Conservation among Tenants in Low-Income Housing
2011-05-19 08:44:18 UTC
Hello, I'm looking for best practiced on how to encourage water and energy conservation in low-income/social/public/affordable housing complexes (apartment buildings). In these situations, the tenant does not pay the water or electricity bills.
Are there effective social marketing, outreach, or tenant-organizing methods that others have employed successfully?
Your advice is appreciated. Thank you.
