How many Americans have gone green?
I am writing a report and have nto been able to find how many Americans have gone green. I have looked on google so plese don’t say google it. A percent is fine. Please tell me where you found the information and as of what day or year they concluded that many americans. Thank you so much and I need help pronto. I am willing to give good points to the one who has the best informed and straight to the point answer. Remember to cite the site or book.
I’ll stay with white women. Green ones don’t sound very sexy to me.
There really is no estimate about how many Americans have "gone green" because "Going green" does not have well defined parameters. For example, in many cases minor changes are considered going green like recycling more and buying eco friendly light bulbs. Some people consider it a complete lifestyle overhaul such as going vegan, planting trees, buying toilets that turn human waste into fertilizer etc. etc. etc. Due to that fact and the fact that most people don’t report small and many times even large changes in their lifestyle it’s impossible to come up with a number of how many Americans have gone green.
What you need to do is find a new parameter. For example, you could say that sales of eco friendly products seem to be increasing and use this source from GE’s products, ecomagination, showing that their sales have doubled. http://www.environmentalleader.com/2007/05/24/ge-green-sales-double/
Or look up how many new windmills have gone up in the last couple of years.
Or you could cite the increase in recycling statistics among citizens in the US. http://greenliving.lovetoknow.com/United_States_Recycling_Statistics
By pinning down your parameters you can show evidence that shows more awareness of environmental issues and more action being taken.
