What questions do you have about climate in Mississippi? - Mississippi Today

Whether it’s through their animals, their careers, or their homes, Mississippians have fascinating connections to the environment, and it’s been a privilege getting to talk to them over the six or so years I’ve been on this beat.

One of my favorite things about doing this coverage is that, because everyone interacts with the environment, there’s no telling where the next story will come from. Every now and then, we get a tip from someone with no political connections, talking about some issue I’ve never heard of, in a town I’ve never been. Often, those become some of the most special stories to tell.

Be it pollution, farming, habitats, energy, disaster mitigation, climate change, or water infrastructure, we want to keep engaging with our readers on what’s happening with the environment around Mississippi, and we hope you’ll keep letting us know what we’re missing.

Take the survey below, and we’ll use your questions to create an FAQ.
