Survey seeks attitude on PTC litterFri, 08/15/2008 - 3:39pm

Does every litter bit hurt? That’s what Keep Peachtree City Beautiful, Inc., is asking residents of and visitors. Determining perceptions and attitudes toward litter is the critical first step in developing anti-litter programs, according to Al Yougel, executive director of the non-profit organization. “We have to know what people think before we can design effective educational, enforcement and clean up campaigns,” Yougel said. The 26 question survey is available at six locations throughout Peachtree City as well as on the City’s web site. The paper version is available at city hall, the Library, The Gathering Place, the tennis center, public works office and the Kedron Fieldhouse and Aquatic Center. Online, the survey can be found at www.peachtree-city.org under City Departments/Public Works/Keep PTC Beautiful. The survey includes questions about participants’ perceptions and attitudes, such as whether the city has a littering problem, and whether it costs taxpayer money and hurts the environment. Completing the survey takes less than one minute and will be available until the end of August. In the meantime, Keep Peachtree Beautiful will be conducting a ground survey to determine the location of the most severely littered areas in the City. “The existence of over 87 miles of multi-use paths, together with our street/highway system really presents us with two transportation networks,” Yougel says. “I suspect that we will find that the cause, type and circumstances surrounding the litter of one network will not be identical to the other.” Keep Peachtree City Beautiful, Inc. is always in need of volunteers. Interested individuals can register on the same web page as the survey. And yes, every litter bit does hurt. login to post comments |
