qe6 | Which of the following actions aimed at fighting climate change have you personally taken? | ||
qe6.1 | You have purchased a car that consumes less fuel, or is more environmentally friendly | 0.1345 | 0.2973 |

qe6.3 | You have chosen an environmentally friendly way of transportation (by foot, bicycle, public transport) | 0.2654 | 0.4769 |
qe6.4 | You are reducing your consumption of energy at home (for example by turning down air conditioning or heating, not leaving appliances on stand-by buying energy efficient products such as low-energy bulbs or appliances) | 0.5842 | 0.9254 |
qe6.5 | You are reducing your consumption of water at home (for example not leaving water running when washing the dishes, etc.) | 0.5116 | 0.7926 |
