8) Would you buy something from a small, local business instead of a Big Box store if it meant you would spend 20% more?

Absolutely. I try never to shop at major retailers unless I can't find something I need from a small business.
Yes, as long as the item overall is inexpensive. I wouldn't pay 20% more if it meant paying hundreds of dollars more.
No. Even when it comes to inexpensive items, that 20% difference adds up over time and I can't afford that.

4) The moving process creates the dilemma of what to take and what to purge! If you had to pack your entire household and move, how much of your belongings would you get rid of in the process?

More than 40%. I have way, way too much stuff and moving would be an opportunity to downsize which I would take full advantage of.
More than 25%, but less than 40%. I could—or would—probably find a significant amount of stuff not worth taking with me.
Less than 25%. I probably have too much stuff, but letting things go that I might need in the future is hard.
Less than 15%. I have just the right amount of stuff—all things I enjoy and use regularly.

3) Would you be more likely to buy a beverage in plastic if the bottle was biodegradable?

Yes. People will never stop consumer plastic, and only a small amount is being recycled.
No. Whether bio-plastic or virgin plastic, most bottles end up as landfill or litter—not at a facility that can process them for recycling or composting. Curbing the impacts of billions of plastic bottles requires avoiding them.
I’m not sure.

2) Would you pay $20 or more for an energy efficient LED bulb to replace a standard incandescent bulb?

I'd buy one tomorrow, no problem.
With a 30% coupon or rebate I'd consider it.
They are just too expensive right now. I'll wait a couple years until prices go way down.
