Roundtable Meetings: Twelve meetings were conducted across the state to collect ideas and recommendations for adult environmental education.

Process: Participants chose from seven roundtable discussion groups to address one of the following seven challenges: Air Quality, Biodiversity, Energy, Land Use, Waste, Water Quality, and Sustainable Development, Renewable Resources. UtilizingOpen Space Technology, participants were open to move from one challenge to another at their leisure, allowing the opportunity to provide input in a number of discussions. When time and the size of the group allowed, a second group formed to address a given challenge.

Each group addressed the following identical questions:
· What is your assessment of the availability of air quality education for adults in your county or community?

· What air quality education activities are occurring in your county/community?

· Are there opportunities to build on the air quality education activities mentioned above?

· What is needed to improve air quality education for adults, that is not addressed in question 3. What products, tools, services, etc…

Participants: Of the twelve meetings held across the state, the number of participants ranged from two to forty-four. Evening meetings from 7 - 9 p.m. were always smaller in number. Represented were state agencies, school districts, community and state colleges, non-profit organizations, business owners and local residents. In cases where no interest was expressed, some challenged went unaddressed.

The results of each meeting are provided as they were collected, with no filter. If no data is available under a particular challenge, none was provided.

Results of the discusssions are grouped by "Challenge". To view the results about the challenges click on the specific challenge.
