King County’s EcoConsumer program provides education, tools and resources to help consumers balance consumption with conservation, including tips for reducing waste, buying green, avoiding toxics and upgrading the home to be more healthy and efficient. C+C helps EcoConsumer Tom Watson spread the word about how to be a more eco-conscious citizen, negotiating ongoing media appearances to discuss environmentally-friendly consumer tips and helping him further establish himself as the region’s top green expert. In 2008, C+C also worked with the program to develop and launch the Eco-Cool Remodel Tool, an online interactive tool that allows consumers to click around a virtual house and get tips on how to retrofit and remodel their home in a more environmentally conscious way. In addition to providing overall project management, C+C was also involved in drafting and editing copy, and researching consumer resources. C+C is currently working on plans for promoting the tool to consumers in 2009.
