Survey of TerraPass members finds they’re not buying absent their guilt

Posted by admin Published in Carbon Offset, Green

As always, we need to at least put on our slightly skeptical hat when we get survey results about a group released by that group. Keeping that small caveat in intellect, it appears that society who are part of the TerraPass community are not doing so considering they want a green ticket excuse for their extravagant lifestyles. Instead, hey, they care.

As TerraPass blogger Adam Stein explains, Terrapass sticker buyers are a green bunch. They are five times increasingly likely than the average American to ride public transportation to their job and 22 times increasingly likely to bike to work. Even though the entire notion behind TerraPass is to offset the CO2 from

the vehicle you slap the sticker onto, society in the TerraPass community are seven times increasingly likely than average to drive a hybrid. additionally, TerraPassers are 200 times increasingly likely to have solar panel installed on their homes.

It does assemble a lot of sense that public who pay for a little sticker are additionally willing to do something increasingly for the environment, so I’m not precisely surprised. Still, all in all, that is a pretty good scorecard for TerraPass and the community they’ve created.
