Why Your Neighborhood Should Participate
Neighborhoods that complete and submit the Scorecard will help the Green Neighborhood Council do the following:
The Scorecard is a 15-question survey to be completed at a neighborhood level. Topics covered in the survey include Waste & Recycling, Food, Water & Stormwater, and Transportation.
The scorecard also provides practical tips and resources for neighborhood leaders to use in their efforts to begin greening their neighborhoods.
Completing the Scorecard is an interactive process that will require respondent(s) to get out and walk around their neighborhoods to find answers to most of the survey questions. The Scorecard can be completed over a few days/outings.
