After learning about the CERP, it is important to acknowledge members of the general public’s thoughts. Some questions you can ask to encourage a positive conversation are:
- What do you think about water quality in Florida?
- Do you think water quality is getting worse or getting better? Why?
- Have you experienced any water quality issues? What was the issue(s)?
- Why do you think the CERP is important to protect water resources?
- How can the CERP improve water quality in Florida?
- Do you take care of your home landscape/lawn? If so, how will the CERP impact your landscaping care?
- What do you believe are the largest issues facing you, as you strive to comply with the CERP as a homeowner who needs to take care of your landscape/lawn?
- If you have a home landscape to take care of, how do you plan to deal with the impacts the CERP has or will have on your landscaping care?
