Pullman Climate Change Survey
Greetings, Neighbor!

We need your input! In 2018 the City of Pullman set a goal to adopt a Climate Action Plan “with specified local goals and steps to decrease the city’s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and to ensure the city’s livability now and sustainability in the future.”[1]  Pullman community members can help the city take the next steps to create a Climate Action Plan by taking 5-10 minutes to fill out this survey. The results will be shared with City of Pullman leadership.

Your feedback will be anonymous. We greatly appreciate you sharing your opinion and insights.  

If you have any questions or comments regarding the survey you can contact us at PullmanClimateSurvey@gmail.com.

Sincerely,
Citizens’ Climate Lobby of the Palouse
