Priorities for the World

Jennifer - I like these questions - they are nice and general, but I think definitely using the Likert would be a better scale. We also might want to include "Do you believe" before all your questions. Although sustaining is still ambiguous, and requires knowledge about the environment and economy that our respondents may not have. We may also want to include a time frame, like "in the past five years" or "since the Conservative government has held a minority government".

Some questions that build upon yours would be "How serious do you consider global warming to be" "What percentage of the federal government budget should be put towards environmental issues?" "Do you think that subsidies should be provided for green energies?" "If affordable and available, would you be willing to switch to a green energy source?"
