General Discussion

It would be nice to get people's opinions/guesses on how much they recycle but I think that it is slightly unrealistic. How many of us actually know how many times a day we recycle? Once we start to rely on people's own guesses and judgments about themselves then I think we get into territory that is less reliable. I think that AsenaCansuYildiz raises a good point about needing to being as specific as possible in judging how environmentally conscious people are, especially compared to one another. Maybe we could try to do that by asking more questions about environmentally conscious behaviors and giving respondents a score based on how many of the questions they answer. Or does anyone have any other ideas on how to best measure people's relative 'environmentalness'? I'm just wary of asking people to judge or measure their own behaviors...
