Hey, thanks for your questions. I think that open-ended questions are not recommended for our survey because it is going to be very hard to code them on spss, therefore I would suggest that we stick to close-ended questions.

Since sustainability and especially climate change are very contentious issues I think it would be interesting to include a question gauging the extent to which participants believe the things they hear about the environment.

Possibly something along the lines of:

I feel that the information regarding the environment/climate change provided by experts, such as scientists and the government, can be trusted.

Strongly agree to strongly disagree scale

I'm not too sure if open ended questions are fitting for what we are trying to measure, asking a question like "What would you suggest as practical methods to get more people involved in sustainable choice-making in people's lives?" are useful for measuring opinions, not exactly the sustainability actions individuals take. It would be good to use quantative related questions to make it easier to measure and easier to get conclusions out of.
