Description:

This dataset shows how frequently respondents choose each of the listed environmentally friendly options in their behaviour and consumption. The numbers indicate what percentage (%) of all respondents have selected each frequency category for each type of environmentally friendly option.

This dataset is based on the following question: ‘Generally thinking about your personal consumption and behaviour how often:’

  • Do you avoid plastic and/or disposable/single-use products?
  • Do you recycle?
  • Do you avoid animal products?
  • Are you using low carbon-emission modes of transport (cycling, public transport, car-pooling instead of your personal car)?
  • Do you buy sustainably or eco-friendly products and services?
  • Do you buy fair trade products and services?
  • Do you buy used instead of new items (e.g. second-hand clothes, used furniture)?
  • Do you prioritise seasonal and local food products?
  • Do you pay attention that products or packaging are recyclable or biodegradable?
  • Are you mindful of your consumption of natural resources (water, electricity and heating)?

For each activity/choice listed, the respondents selected one frequency category from the following list:

  • Always
  • Most of the time
  • Sometimes
  • Rarely
  • Never
  • Prefer not to answer

Those choosing not to answer are excluded from the analysis.

This indicator is disaggregated by the respondent's personal monthly income relative to the respondent's country's population. Three categories are used: "Low" (1st–3rd decile); "Medium" (4th–7th decile); "Low" (8th–10th decile).
