Green Worcester Launching Environmental Sustainability Phone Survey
Beginning today — Wednesday, June 26 — Worcester residents will receive phone calls to participate in a survey about environmental issues and to share their opinions on environmental sustainability in the city.
Residents 18 years of age or older will be selected at random and contacted by live interviewers calling both landline and mobile telephone numbers. The survey is expected to take 10 minutes to complete.
The goal is to have 600 residents complete the survey for statistically significant results.

The plan development is led by the Green Worcester Working Group, with assistance from the consultant team led by Larissa Brown + Associates. The City aims to complete the plan in time for the 50th celebration of Earth Day on April 22, 2020.
