CAN WE HAVE 15 MINUTES? TAKE THE SM SURVEY
|
The Environmental Finance Center (EFC) at the University of Maryland would like to learn how you have engaged with the
Sustainable Maryland program. Regardless of whether you've participated in the program, we are interested in hearing from people from every municipality in the state.
This free and voluntary program has been around for the past five years and we want to hear from folks who have decided to participate in the program as well as from those communities that have not.
We would appreciate it if you took 15 minutes to take this anonymous survey.
