According to a survey conducted by IPSOS in late 2019, water usage was the area where the most consumers had changed their behavior due to concern about climate change, with 41 percent of those surveyed having reduced the amount of water they use in their home. It seems this attitude does not extend into the workplace though - the area that consumers were least likely to change was how often they travel on business, with only eight percent of respondents reducing work travel due to environmental concerns.
