In preparation for Earth Day next week, BuzzBack Market Research decided to survey a large group of Americans and Brits to see how well they are adapting their lives to be more eco-friendly.

The results were all positive, and showed that there is a growing interest in becoming as environmentally friendly as possible. Check out the consumer results after the cut, and see how well you match up with those who were surveyed.

72% use energy efficient light bulbs
70% turn down the thermostat
71% recycle paper
68% turn off electric appliances rather than leave them on stand-by
67% take more showers than baths to conserve water
57% recycle glass
57% purchase recycled products
55% purchase recycled paper
51% purchase refill products
38% use less household chemicals
36% walk short distances rather than drive
31% buy organic fruit or vegetables
20% take fewer flights
15% buy organic meat
6% only buy products from companies they consider Green
4% use a hybrid car

It will be interesting to see the results of the study again in a few years, and to see how quickly we are moving in a greener direction.
