What is the goal of our research? To explore the barriers and motivations of Medford residents and business owners to take action on climate change.

We will be running 3-4 focus groups with Medford residents to get their opinions on environmental and energy issues. Depending on the number of participants we get, the focus group should only last about 2 hours long and will be held on the Tufts campus, and we will reimburse you $20 for participating.

Refreshments will also be served.

Would you like to be a part of our research? - If you are interested in helping us with our project, please leave your name and contact info. We will be contacting you in the next week to set up focus group date and time.

Thanks so much for your help!
