Photographs may not reproduce from EDRS in microfiche. AVAILABLE FROM Consumer Inforsaticn Center, Department 6828, Pueblo, CO 81009 (free) EDRS MF01 Plus Postage. PC Not Available from MRS. DESCRIPTORS Community Cooperation: Community Organizations: *Community Programs: Community Resources: Consumer Education: *Consumer protection; Energy: Food: Health: Housing: *Inflation (Economics): Models: Progras Descriptions: Resource Materials ABSTRACT This publication describes what approximately 100 groups around the country are doing with regard to food, housing, energy, and health to beat inflation cn the neighborhood level. The book is intended as a resource for citizens wishing to take the kind cf consumer action that will save them and their neighbors money. Some of the programs featured are saving families hundreds of dollars annually. For instance, several groups are promoting community and backyard gardening. In 1979, backyard and community gardening projects nationwide produced $13 billion worth of produce. Another example is a corporate-sponsored ridesharing program in California which saves commuters $4 million in commuting costs and an estimated two million gallons of gasoline each year. Other groups have found less tangible ways to save while making life more enjoyable for those they serve. For example, some organizations are giving residents a new sense of pride by revitalizing their neighborhoods. In St. Louis, a dynamic innercity group has renovated 815 million worth of housing, created jobs for 450 residents by luring a shoe factory into the area, and opened a low-cost medical clinic.
