Please RSVP to Brittany Choate at bchoate@email.arizona.edu by February 17, 2012. 

Conserve to Enhance (C2E) is a simple approach to making the connection between water efficiency programs and the environment. It works by (1) asking participants to implement water efficiency practices, (2) tracking monthly water bill savings and (3) enabling donation of some or all of those savings to a fund for local environmental enhancement. 

We invite you to join us each month, beginning on February 21st for this five-part webinar series. Each month we will focus on a different specific topic related to establishing user contribution programs that benefit the environment, using Conserve to Enhance to provide context for the discussion. The webinar series will also cover:

- Achieving Local Water Conservation and Environmental Enhancement Goals with User Contribution Programs (March 2012)

- Establishing a User Contribution Program (April 2012)

- Accounting Mechanisms for Tracking Water Conservation and User Contributions (May 2012)

- Program Evaluation and Expansion in Your Community (June 2012)
