Oak Park and River Forest residents can now participate in a survey which aims to hammer out a long-term plan for environmental and financial sustainability in both villages.

The survey, part of an overall sustainability vision plan, is designed to let residents prioritize sustainability efforts in areas like waste, water, food supply and transportation.

Gary Cuneen, the executive director of Seven Generations Ahead who's helping spearhead the project, billed the plan as a first-of-its kind joint effort between two village governments, their parks, schools, congregations, residents and local business communities. 

Organizers say the survey, called PlanItGreen, "is designed to take as little as five minutes to complete – or longer if you wish to add more narrative comment."

The survey can be accessed by visiting the Seven Generations Ahead website or accessed directly here.
