Frequency of choosing environmentally friendly behaviours and personal consumption habits, by household type eige_gap_trans__ggs_trans_consumption_hh

Time format:
Years
Unit:
Percentage (comparable)
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:

  • Every day
  • 4 to 6 days a week
  • 1 to 3 days a week
  • Less often
  • Never

This indicator is disaggregated by household type. For the purposes of this indicator, five household types are distinguished:

  • Single without children
  • Lone parents or single cohabiting with children
  • In a couple without children
  • In a couple cohabitating with children
  • Other
