What people are already doing

How often do you currently behave this way to protect the planet, its people and resources?

Our survey reveals which sustainable behaviours are already in action, and which are less so. 

We asked respondents to say whether they Always, Often, Sometimes, Rarely or Never behave this way, in context of the following sustainable actions: 

  • Reduce water and food waste 
  • Recycle and choose products with recycled content, whenever possible 
  • Switch to renewable energy and conserve energy 
  • Eat more fruits, vegetables, and plant-based foods
  • Purchase durable products, not disposable
  • Choose nature friendly products that protect habitats and biodiversity
