Hi,

I am in the process of designing a national survey to investigate Social and cultural differences surrounding attitudes and behaviours towards water use, water saving, water sensitive design etc, as part of a broader study looking at social inequality and water sustainability.

As a result I am on the hunt for any existing studies, surveys and questionnaires exploring environmental sustainability in a social and cultural context.

Of particular interest are any surveys designed to explore areas such as demographics, ethnicities, class and social status, gender and migration. Also anything based in Australia.

thanks,
Paul

RE: Fw: [Patel College] House Shopping

Now here's one I wouldn't miss: 3005 E Waters AveTampa, FL 33604.  It's for Sale by Owner and only has had the sign out front for a few days.  Maybe 3 miles from USF, as I pass it every day and ride about 5 miles total.  It's on the river, but a good 20 feet above the high water mark on a ridge.   A half-acre with a boat ramp and dock.   Big Oak trees and everything.

This one is owned by a bank and still empty:
2819 E Waters Ave Tampa, FL 33604, so nearly ½ price, just like this one:
7308 Park Dr Tampa, FL 33610, is in foreclosure, but look at the river view!

Opps, 10am time for me to get to work!
Enjoy
