Sustainability for Every Day
Hi!
I'm Leigh.
I'm researching how ordinary people find easy ways to bring a little more sustainability to their daily lives.
It's based on a simple premise:
Habits only stick if they make people feel GOOD.
This good feeling can mean enjoying the habit itself (like taking a walk), or it can mean being proud of the result (like recycling), but one way or another, if the brain doesn't get its shot of dopamine, then the habit won't stick.
So, I would love your insights on how green or sustainable routines affect your life. Or, how they don't affect your life.
I'm not looking for happy, positive input. I'm looking for your real thoughts and feelings, whatever those are. If they're good, great! If they're bad, also great!
Also, I'm not looking to you to be an expert on anything. You are an expert on YOU. That's what I'm asking about. I don't need to know what you think other people want to hear. I want to know what's really in your heart and mind.
Everything you put here will be completely confidential, never to be shared.
Unless you want it to be shared, in which case I have a place for you to indicate that preference and share contact info at the end of the survey. But that's all at your own discretion.
Thank you for taking the time to share your insights and put your thoughts into words.
You are amazing.

What does the word "green" mean to you, in the context of the environment?
(Good or bad impressions. What do you really think?)
Is sustainability, particularly in terms of your personal actions, something you think about regularly?
Yes
No
Do you have any regular habits that you feel are green or sustainable?

Yes, but other concerns are of higher priority to me.
Yes, but I just forget or don't think about it.
Yes, but it's too much trouble.
Yes, but I don't know what to do.

I prefer not to answer
I will be using your answers to gain insight as I finish my research and build a book from the findings, but everything you've shared will be completely confidential.
If I find pieces of your writing that I think would benefit others and would like to share in the book (because your words are your own), may I contact you to request permission to do so?
I would email you to discuss any use on a case-by-case basis, so nothing will ever be shared without your complete knowledge, consent and credit (at your choosing).
Yes, I would be willing to discuss this on a case-by-case basis.
No, I want my answers to remain completely confidential, no matter how eloquent I am.
To acknowledge and thank everyone for their time and insights, I would like to list the names of survey participants in the finished book. Would you like your name to be included in this list?
Yes
No
Please type your name as you would like it to appear in the "Thank You" section.
Be as official or unofficial as you would like.
This is for you to receive your credit for being amazing!
Please enter an email address.
This will allow me to contact you if you are open to the discussion of having some part of your statements published.
It will allow me to double-check your preferred name in the Thank You list (if you chose).
I will also notify you when the book is published.
This is all it will be used for. I will never share it with anyone.
If you have any questions or any additional info, opinions or insights you would like to share, please shoot me an email at:
The more we communicate, the more we grow!
