Interview Questions & Results The majority of respondents were not familiar with area agencies that assist with litter problems, education and abatement. Of those local agencies recognized, most respondents either did not know or were not completely sure of what these agencies do, or what areas they service. As a result of these findings, E-Enviro's next issue of Enviro~News will list area agencies, as well as making a resource page to be posted on this web site. |
