National Geographic and Globe Scan have been tracking our environmental, sustainable consumption for 3 years now in the “Greendex 2010: Consumer Choice and the Environment – A Worldwide Tracking Survey”. This was made to give everyone worldwide an idea of how companies and people all over the world are promoting environmentally sustainable consumption.
The study includes 17 countries and 17,000 consumers and is increasing every year. What was used in determining the consumptions were the following: food sources, transportation choices, use of green products and attitude and knowledge of environmental issues.
The top scoring countries of 2010 in descending order are India, Brazil and China. Sadly Americans still rank as one of the least and sustainable of all countries surveyed so hopefully this will be changing in the future.
