Don't think this made it on to the GreenYes list, but if it didn't would you
mind posting as I can't currently post to this list. I've completed the
short questionaire and it took about half an hour. Well worth it to help
continue to foster sustainability policies in the EU.
Cheers,

> Other languages are available too.

> Please fill at least the short version of the questionnaire. And consider
this:

Europe!
