Recycling Survey

By Dr. Jan Buhrmann
Over the last two months, a sample of residents of Greater Park Hill have received a survey on recycling, environmental attitudes, and related topics. This survey duplicates a study originally conducted in 1997 by Jan Buhrmann, then a doctoral student at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Her original dissertation research was chaired by Park Hill Resident, Dr. Joyce Nielsen. During her sabbatical year in Colorado, Dr. Buhrmann is again working with the Greater Park Hill Community to collect updated information and examine changes in environmental attitudes and recycling activities over the last 15 years. At this point, the Greater Park Hill Community residents have been very active in responding to this survey, with approximately 63% of surveys returned to date. We greatly appreciate your participation in this survey, and look forward to sharing the results with you in future newsletters and community meetings. If you have not yet returned your survey, we encourage you to send it in. If you have misplaced your copy and would like a new survey mailed to you, please contact Dr. Jan Buhrmann at 303-503-0858, or via e-mail at: jbuhrman@mail.ic.edu. Thanks again to all of the GPHC residents who have responded. Your feedback and opinions will help us a great deal in shaping the direction of recycling and other environmental practices within our community.
