Our survey results - in progress

Hey there!

Thank you for answering our survey questions. Without you we couldn't have reached this level in our research.

58 people around the world participated. 

 

1. How much one way plastic do you use per day? (e.g. PET bottles, wrapping paper)

Most people use 2 pieces of plastic per day. On average, people use 3.77 pieces of plastic a day.

 

2. Have you ever tried to reduce your plastic consumption?

38 people tried to reduce their plastic consumption at least once while 17 people never tried.

 

3. If you answered Question 2 with „yes“, how was it for you?

Most people (15) think that reducing plastic is neither easy nor difficult. Almost as many people (14) found it difficult. The other participants didn't try (12) or it was easy  (9) for them.

 

4. Which of the following would you do to help the environment?

The result shows that not many people who answered our survey like the use of cardboard / paper straws or packaging. The usage of own bags, reusable bottles and tupperware is more likely to be chosen.

 

5. Would you be open to switching from plastic to reusable bottles (e.g. glass)?

43 people would be open to switch from plastic bottles to reusable bottles whereas 12 people are unsure. 

 

6. Have you ever heard of bottle bricks before?

This answer shows us that bottle bricks aren't very known. Maybe our project will / could change that.

 

7. Would you like to make bottle bricks as well?

This answer may have resulted in that way because the topic isn't very popular and in some places it may be difficult to donate them when produced.

 

8. Would you be interested in following our bottle brick project?

We are happy to see how many people are interested in our project!

 

9. How old are you?

We received the most answers from people aged under 18.

 

10. Which country are you from?

 

Most people who answered our survey questions are from Switzerland. Some are from India. Other countries are specified in Question 11.

 

11. If you answered Question 10 with "other", please write down your country in CAPITAL LETTERS.

- PAPA-NEUGUINEA: 1 person

- ITALY: 1 person

 

Quite interesting that our survey reached other countries apart from Switzerland!

Text for the teachers from abroad - Bottle Bricks

Hi there!
We are students from the wkvw school in Wetzikon, Switzerland. 

We are currently working on a project about bottle bricks and have made a survey for it. We would be very grateful if you could spread the survey among your students, so we could get different answers from different countries.

Dear participant,

For a school project we are conducting a survey on "reducing daily CO2 emissions". 
We are confronted with CO2 emissions on a daily basis and in recent years it has become clear that we need to reduce emissions to help the environment.

Thank you for taking 5 minutes out of your day to complete this survey.

Kind regards
