Linn County wants to know how climate change is affecting its residents and what climate action the county should prioritize. The county’s sustainability department is collecting public input through an online survey.
The survey asks how residents think about climate change and what challenges they faced during climate disaster events, including the derecho and the 2008 flood. The survey also asks what type of climate action is most important to residents, and potential barriers to taking action.
Linn County’s Sustainability Program Manager Tamara Marcus told
Little Village earlier this year it is important to give residents a platform to share their opinions regarding climate action.
