Biggest Green Sin Poll Results
May 30, 2008 by Peggy
It’s the end of May and time for the unveiling of our Biggest Green Sin poll results! Thanks to all 89 of you who took the poll. It was fun to have so much participation. And have you ever noticed how much an electrical outlet has a surprised look?
From least to most popular green sin:
Recklessly use the printer — 2% of all votes
Don’t buy recycled office paper — 2% of all votes
Don’t recycle anything — 3% of all votes
Never buy organic foods — 3% of all votes
Still use detergents with phosphate — 3% of all votes
Don’t bother getting off junk mail lists — 4% of all votes
Buy a lot of stuff I may not need cause I love to shop — 4% of all votes
Refuse to carpool to work — 6% of all votes
Use Raid on spiders — 8% of all votes
Eat convenience foods with too much packaging — 12% of all votes
Drive an SUV (choice added by reader) — 15% of all votes
And the Biggest Green Sin was . . .
Leave unused appliances/chargers plugged in all day — 36% of all votes (That’s also the one I voted for.)
It’s good to know so many of you are recycling! That choice received very few votes. If you need to work on not leaving unused appliances plugged in all day, try a power strip AND check out Jennifer’s post — One Small Step: Solve One Green Sin (At Least Partially).
As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve been writing about these green sins all month. Here are the posts in case you missed them:

If we left out something you wanted us to cover, let us know. And please look for the new poll very soon.
Are you surprised by the poll results?
