SWEA Vancouver Environmental Project 2010-2011 – Next steps
SWEA Vancouver is delighted to launch its new environment project. As a member of a Swedish organization, you are automatically invited to participate. We’re hoping you’d like to take part. Please let us know by email (Vancouver@swea.org) so that we can add you to our list of recipients.
The project comes in two parts:
1) Eight environmental emails: Starting in December 2010, you will receive weekly emails with green ideas and facts. For example, how you could decrease your energy use, where do you buy organic foods, clothes etc. .
2) A survey of all participants. This will focus on general demographics (age, gender, etc) as well as assess the environmental behavior and attitudes of you and your family. The survey is personal and both you and your partner can fill it in and submit it. The results are strictly confidential and we are not going to show any individual results or share them with a third party. We will however, need to identify you with your email address so that we can contact you in case you win one of our generous prices.
The survey has 12 questions and takes about 10 minutes to fill in. It is an online survey and the link will be sent out by email at the beginning of January 2011. The deadline of submitting the survey is February 15, 2011.
The winners of the prices (see below for detailed descriptions) will be identified by a random draw. The prices will be handed out during the newly initiated spring dinner 2011 where the results also will be presented.
Thank you for showing an interest in this exciting pilot project. We hope that you and our family members want to participate and that this will be the starting point for other local and international environmental initiatives.
If you have any questions, please contact Anna Norrström at vancouver@swea.org.
