GNC NEIGHBORHOOD SCORECARD

Share your neighborhood's score

The deadline for submitting the Green Neighborhood Scorecard has been extended to August 31, 2009. You have two more weeks to submit the scorecard survey. Please contact us if you need any help completing the scorecard or you hit "Done" online at Survey Monkey and you don't get a confirmation.

The Green Omaha Coalition's Green Neighborhood Council has developed the Green Neighborhood Scorecard, a tool to assess the greenness of neighborhoods while identifying areas of environmental need.  The Scorecard is a multi-question survey to be completed by neighborhood residents. Survey topics include Energy,  Recycling, Food, Water, and Transportation. A resource list has also been developed to accompany the Scorecard and further help residents green their neighborhoods.  Completing the Scorecard is an interactive process that requires respondent(s) to get out and walk around their neighborhoods for survey answers.
