| Hogares Verdes – an environmental education programme | |
| Brief Description | Hogares Verdes is a three-phase program aimed for families willing to improve their consumption standards in energy and food. It is an educational program for families which provides information regarding the environmental and social impact of their daily household living. Following entry into the program, households would, among other objectives, reduce in a 10% their energetic consumption and between a 6 and 10% their water consumption.

| INHERIT Perspective | Hogares verdes is a program that tackles behavioural change within households in order to avoid overconsumption (in the areas of energy, food and water). It can help families reduce their environmental impact and their expenditure in basic necessities. Therefore, it can be especially useful for low-income families that have less capacity for adapting their consumption levels by other means. |
