How to organize a community energy project: a profile of C. A. N. 's Stamford, Connecticut, project for women. [Monograph]
The Consumer Action Now (CAN) National Energy Project for Women is an outreach program that recognizes women's role in the control of residential energy consumption, consumer purchasing, and family managements as well as their participation in the work force. A two-stage problem-solving approach outlines how to organize a community awareness project which will maximize local participation and support for a fair. The second stage involves showing appreciation and evaluating what was accomplished. A CAN community project in Stamford, Connecticut which led to a citizens energy committee, proposal for a community energy planner, an energy curriculum in the elementary schools, a summer conservation course, and a car clinic illustrates how organizing an awareness project can produce long-term benefits.
