Questionnaire: What Do You Really Think About Climate Change?
The rise in oil prices and the predicted effects of climate change can sometimes
seem somewhat overwhelming. What, if any, changes do you think they will make to
our lives and if they will make changes, what can you do to make any difference
to their impact? Would you like to know you are not acting on your own and what
other people in Wallingford and the surrounding villages are doing too? Sustainable
Wallingford has prepared the following short questionnaire to gauge current feelings
regarding the challenges these things may bring to our lives and to give a picture
of what we in our local communities are already doing to meet them. This information
will tell us about:
- What people are currently doing, or would be prepared to do.
- Whether their actions are a response to climate change and more expensive
and decreasing oil supplies.
- What increased action we could take individually and collectively, to enable
Wallingford and the surrounding villages to become more sustainable.
Once collated, the information from these surveys will be published on our website,
in our newsletter, and in Window on Wallingford, together with information
about some next steps we could all undertake and how Sustainable Wallingford can
help.
This survey is also being conducted by our friends in Sustainable Wallingford,
USA. We want to see if we have similar interests, knowledge, and concerns in both
countries. We think comparing knowledge and action on climate change in two towns
in two countries is interesting, as well as an important piece of information to
share with our respective communities and the broader communities we live and work
in. We are a small town of about 10,000 people.
Wallingford, USA is a neighbourhood
of around 20,000 people, located 4 miles north of Seattle.
