Environmental Issues Survey Template

Environmental priorities are rarely one simple scale. Someone may be highly concerned about water quality, uncertain about available information, and cautious about a proposed response. These seven questions separate the issue, personal effect, information, action preference, and trade-offs.

Use this survey with adults who live, work, or study in one named community or service area. Keep the past 12 months as the reference period so respondents answer from a shared window. If the discussion is specifically about indoor or neighborhood pollution, the air quality template gives that issue a narrower owner.

Use these seven optional questions as a starting point. Single-choice items allow one answer. Show every question; there is no branching or score.

Replace the issue and action lists with verified local terms before sharing. Keep an "another issue" option and a route for people who need more information. If the task is to review collection rules or participation in an existing program, use the recycling survey instead. Do not use this survey for emergency reports, regulatory complaints, or exposure diagnoses.

Create the same seven-question environmental issues survey in SurveyLegend. Copy this prompt into an AI assistant to draft the questions. Review the draft, then build and customize the survey in SurveyLegend before sharing.

Start with the selected issue, then compare concern, personal effect, information clarity, and the preferred next action. Do not combine them into one score: a respondent may care about an issue while disagreeing about the response. Group written trade-offs before choosing what requires research or consultation. The Yale AP-NORC project describes a majority in its national segmentation as “holding complex and nuanced perspectives on the environment.” Read the Yale environment poll . That finding is from U.S. national research and does not predict the views of a specific local audience or validate this questionnaire.
