10. SURVEY RESULTS
- Tenants are aware of the global
concept of a green community,
but they are not aware that
their building is one.
- Lack of awareness that they
live in a green community.
- General awareness of some
energy efficiency tips, but they
are not being put into practice.
11. The majority of tenants
recycle and understand
the importance of it,
however not all tenants
are participating.
13. “You keep coming here
and I don’t even know
who you are. Why would
you come in and make
this changes in a high
risk area? And then,
just leave it like this for
3 months?...”

will volunteer. Tenants will then vote for a

property manager and the tenants. He will engage
people to create consciouness of living in a green
community and will lead by example.

community by getting them to reduce energy
