Survey Update

I have received a lot of survey results. 39 students responded to my non-textile student survey and 27 textile students responded to the textile student survey. The results are very similar to what they were the first time I posted to blogger. However, I think it is pretty crazy that 100% of the 39 non-textile students who took my survey have never intentionally went shopping for eco-friendly clothing. I think this shows a lot about my research. Overall, the surveys have been very helpful to my research and I am confident that my results will help me with my paper.

Survey Results

For my paper, I created two surveys discussing college student's opinion's and awareness of eco-friendly  clothing. I have received 30 responses from my non-textile student survey and 15 responses from textile student survey. Both surveys have shown an overall lack of awareness and interest for eco-friendly clothing. However, the textile student's had more of an awareness and interest than the non-textile students, but both were still relatively low numbers. I found a couple of very interesting facts from my survey results. First, my results showed that 100% of the thirty non-textile students have never sought out eco-friendly clothing while shopping, but 58% of the survey takers said this survey made them want to look into purchasing and becoming more aware of eco-friendly clothing. I thought it was surprising because all it took was a little ten question survey and people seemed concerned by it. The other fact that I found very interesting is that 73% of the textile students are aware of the harmful affects of non-eco-friendly clothing, but only one person answered that they feel that eco-friendly clothing is strongly important to them. This made me want to research exactly what it will take to make students care strongly about purchasing eco-friendly clothing.
