The survey takes too long and is too detailed! Why do you need that level of detailed reporting on the number of condoms or plastic bags (grocery vs. trash)? It's too tedious and the value of such detailed reporting isn't clear. Also, I've had to fill this out twice because your website wasn't saving it. I clicked "save" and nothing happened so I had to reload. It's incredibly frustrating after entering lots of information to redo it again. This user experience is worse than doing my taxes on Turbo Tax.
