APRIL POLL RESULTS ARE IN!
Some challenge items are about one-time actions, some are about habits that are practiced over and over. The April Challenges were mostly about forming habits, which is hard to poll about, so we offered more answer options to the poll questions. The graph below represents how many of those polled were "Already Doing" each Challenge, how many are "Sometimes" managing to practice a new habit, how many have "Started a New Habit" and how many have "Not yet" gotten started.

We also offered lots of sub-questions--like about what you recycle--to give you a chance to think harder about the good recycling habits many of you already practice, and the less common ones you might want to start adopting. These sub-questions make the questions on the graph harder to read unfortunately. You can look back at the April Challenges to see what is listed for this month if you can't read the graph.




























Although the answers were chosen to get a better idea of how you all are progressing with learning new habits, it makes for CO2 numbers that are less certain. Also with the greater granularity of the questions we could not find/calculate CO2 numbers for all the challenges. Even so,we saved about the same CO2 this month as we did last month. For this month the participants of the survey collectively saved 8,551 Lbs of CO2 per year by completing their challenges. That is the same as planing 342 trees or taking .78 cars off the road.

In terms of new habits, bringing cloth bags to the store was the highest. The graph also shows that most people already recycle the most common items, paper, plastics, bottles and cans, and could work on recycling the less common items. In terms of the most CO2 saved (not reflected in the graph) was the eat less meat challenge.
