General Discussion

I agree that defining our terms will be very important in this survey, especially if we want to draw conclusions later on about people's attitudes and actions regarding the environment. I don't think we should ask people if they think they live "sustainably" or "green-ly", because everyone's idea of sustainable is different. I think we should ask specific questions about environmental practices, for example "Do you recycle?" "Do you consume locally (GVRD/Fraser Valley) grown produce?" "Do you bus, bike or walk to work/school?" "Do you buy bottled water on a regular basis?" etc. Maybe we can all throw in ideas for questions to ask about people's environmental practices... A second thing is that we may want to simply ask if people believe global climate change is a) a human caused problem and b) an important issue. I think that might be interesting...
