I apologize in advance for anyone seeing this more than
once...I'nm trying to get it spread fairly widely
Paganism and Environmental Politics Survey
Information:
This survey is intended to help me do a research project studying
how Pagan beliefs affect political viewpoints and actions in regard to
the environment. I will honor all requests for anonymity and requests to
use only Craftname and first name(please state preferred identification
at beginning of your response.) I am looking into making the results or
end paper available when finished. Take as much space to answer as is
necessary; don't feel constrained by the formatting of the survey.
PLease send responses, questions, etc. to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or Sara
Keating, Box 989 Knox College, Galesburg, IL, 61401.
