Composting!
We could ask a population what their opinions about composting are, or better yet, ask whether or not they like the city of Vancouver subsidizing composting! I think this is a relevant topic, because its a fairly recent development.
Also, I dont think we should put too much specialized knowledge into these questions. Obviously, we got to choose these questions, so we probably chose what we were interested in, aka our group probably knows more than the average person about environmental policy. We should aim to make general questions. I think stuff like the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline wont give us reliable answers because most people dont know/care about it. (Even though its important) I liked the general questions made by Jennifer, we should probably start off with one of those.
I liked this question and I think it is pretty relevant to Vancouver, considering the recent bylaw on this plus at UBC we are currently debating new waste management strategies for the campus! I also agree alot with the point about the pipe line and the Tar Sands, alot of what people know is hearsay, so we would probably have to give them alot of information. Though I guess we run into that problem with everything because people are generally misinformed.
