When asked what actions they are likely to take in the next six months to protect the environment, consumers from around the world were most likely to say they would re-use jars and containers; buy products with recyclable packaging; use dishcloths and sponges instead of paper towels; and reduce their usage of paper plates, plastic cups and single-serve plastic bottles. Global consumers were least likely to curtail their usage of dishwashers, washing machines and dryers or cut back on their usage of individual-size packaging and plastic bags. Furthermore, global consumers were lukewarm to the ideas of buying less bulky packaging if it was less convenient to use, looking for alternatives to cleaning products that use toxic chemicals, and using economy-size packaging.
