I think the thing that struck me most about the data would be how interesting I found the results. I was interested in how, for example, a 32 year-old had many of the answers for the questions "because I'm broke." I also liked how everyone who filled out our survey, had answered the same question with a similar answer. The question was, " How do you feel about living green?" and everyone's answer was that they thought it was a great idea. Now I know that many people do want to make a difference, they just don't know how.
I was surprised about one of the results on our survey. The question was why don't you think that people don't try to make a difference, the answer was that it was too difficult for people, and that people are too lazy. I was astonished that people think that they can't make a difference, because everyone can make a difference, if they try.
My expectations of the surveys were much less than what we got. I was expecting less proactive answer, and more lazy answer, but I got the opposite.
I will definitely want to educate people on my findings with this survey. It would be interesting to write a letter to the governor about the result and tell him that we, Californians, are ready to take charge of what is happening with our Earth.
