Crush a Can, Take a Survey, Save the World!
Every September 27th is Crush a Can Day! It may sound like a silly excuse for a holiday but it really has many implications for all of us about being “green” and giving the planet a great big hug. Recycling, reducing consumption and repurposing discarded items have all become major social issues that leading businesses are addressing both for their own corporate responsibility and responding to the consumers to whom they sell products and services. If you are interested in being eco-friendly (and really, who isn’t keen on being green), then there are many online surveys where you can have the chance to speak up about the
If you are an informed consumer, share your opinions about the products and services you use in your day-to-day life by responding to free surveys. Your opinions can be used to make more earth-loving products, such as paper products made from recycled paper and/or more sustainable materials, cleaning products created with natural ingredients that won’t get washed into the water supply, and product packaging with less waste than ends up in landfills.
Some online surveys may ask your opinions and purchasing habits about commuting, travel, general energy consumption as a way to develop and align their new products and services to what the population is demanding. Are you now checking out library books or downloading them to an electronic reader instead of buy the actual hard copy? Have you started carpooling or taking the bus to work instead of driving alone in your car every day? These are all examples of questions you might find on free surveys that ask about your attitudes and perceptions about maintaining a green lifestyle.
Many online surveys will reward you for providing your demographic data along with your honest feedback about the questions. Depending on the survey site, you may receive actual cash payments that you can use to make eco-friendly improvements around your house to free product samples of “green” products that you can share with your friends. So if you drink a soda today, go ahead and smash that can flat and recycle it to honor Crush A Can Day -- remember that participating in online surveys is a great way create change for the better!
