Community Based Social Marketing
This web site has a most useful function.

Social marketing is the systematic application of marketing, along with other concepts and techniques, to achieve specific behavioral goals for a social good. Community based improves on this as people respond much better to people who they know in their own community.
At the “Fostering Sustainable Behavior,” site you can read discussions on the most effective way to change to a more sustainable society.

This summer, the Mobile Cannery will present demonstrations about canning and preservation in collaboration with Center for Appropriate Transportation (CAT) with support from a Neighborhood Matching Grant from the City of Eugene. We’ll load up our cargo bike with canning materials and visit each of the six community gardens this summer. It is our hope to get the folks interested, involved, and excited about food preservation.
