Greendex: Survey of Sustainable Consumption – National Geographic

You’ve read the news–everyone wants to be green now. But do you
really know how your personal choices are adding up? What about the
choices of your fellow citizens? How well are people around the globe
adopting behaviors that can make the world a more environmentally
sustainable place?

National Geographic and the
international polling firm GlobeScan have just conducted a study
measuring and monitoring consumer progress toward environmentally
sustainable consumption in 14 countries around the world.

Why?
We wanted to give people a better idea of how consumers in different
countries are doing in taking action to preserve our planet by
tracking, reporting, and promoting environmentally sustainable
consumption and citizen behavior.

This quantitative
consumer study of 14,000 consumers in a total of 14 countries asked
about such behavior as energy use and conservation, transportation
choices, food sources, the relative use of green products versus
traditional products, attitudes towards the environment and
sustainability, and knowledge of environmental issues. A group of
international experts helped us determine the behaviors that were most
critical to investigate.
