Trends in Consumer Actions to Protect the Environment

Environmental Leader reports on the recent findings of the Natural Marketing Institute, which shows growth of green consumer trends across the board since 2006.

One of the most substantial gains was in consumer participation in household hazardous waste (HHW) collection events. Over 28 percent of respondents now dispose of household products at these events, an increase of over 50 percent since 2006.

The article does not mention how many respondents were surveyed. To find out where to recycle HHW in your community, use Earth 911’s recycling locator.
