Sustainable U Survey

This is your opportunity to identify high priority topics related to all aspects of sustainability that meet your individual needs. Our budding SL University, aka "Sustainable U," has developed a survey that includes 10 broad categories in a simple checklist format. You can rate each category on a scale of 1 - 5 depending on how much that topic interests you. Within each of the 10 categories you can check specific topics that you want to learn about in a future SL class or workshop. We will compile the results and begin recruiting instructors who can offer learning experiences relevant to your journey to live “joyfully and responsibly” on our planet.You can check specific topics within each category. If you don't find what you are looking for, there is a space to include the topic(s) you recommend. Click here to take the survey.
