LEHI, Utah, Dec. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivint Solar,
Inc. (NYSE: VSLR), a leading full-service residential solar
provider, today released new findings from its 2018 Environmental
Consumer Survey exploring the environmentally conscious — or
"green" — behaviors and mindsets of California residents.
Among its notable findings, the survey found that Californians
are the most eco-conscious shoppers in the country. Over 2 in 5
Californians (42 percent) consider the environment before every
purchase, making them the most likely residents of any state to do
so.
"Californians care deeply about doing their part to protect the
environment," said Vivint Solar CEO David
Bywater. "Look no further than their commitment to
clean, renewable energy — California leads the country in solar adoption
and was the first state to mandate solar panels on new homes.
Across the board, Californians set the standard for environmentally
conscious living."
Additional key findings of the survey include:
- Many Californians are looking to expand beyond
gasoline-powered cars. Golden State residents are eager to
embrace automotive innovation. Approximately one-third of
Californians are interested in purchasing an EV in the next five
years.
- Not all Californians would be utterly devastated if their
state went underwater. Rising sea levels due to global warming
threaten to eventually flood cities around the world. Over 3 in 4
Californians (77 percent) would be most sad to see their home state
sink into the ocean. Among all respondents, one quarter of
Americans would be most devastated to see California go, making it the second-most
missed state behind Florida, which
is at serious risk of having the bottom third of the state
submerged.
- Californians are most likely to still believe stereotypes
about the diets of green consumers. 2 in 5 California residents assume green consumers
are vegan or vegetarian, yet the vast majority of green consumers
(88 percent) eat meat.
