Public Survey: www.coolerphoenix.com

Initial Survey Responses on Trees (385) Funding is needed to plant, maintain and water up to 10,000 new trees per year to reach the City's goal of a 25 percent tree canopy. Which actions do you support? 88% agreed : A strategy to double the number of trees in Phoenix over time is a good idea. 46% agreed : I would consider donating to a citywide tree campaign in my city. 71% agreed : I think a $10 annual tax increase to pay for 10,000 new drought-tolerant trees each year in my city is a good idea.

Initial Survey Responses on Buildings (385) The City could require home builders to include a few additional energy efficiency features beyond the building code that are cost effective (although it may slightly increase the overall cost of the home). Which actions do you support? 73% agreed : I think the City adopting an energy efficient building code is a good idea (even if the new home costs slightly more). 82% agreed : I think the City should require a green rating (called a HERS score) on all new homes, so that a house’s efficiency is displayed clearly for potential buyers.
