Earth Day Survey Shows Green Living Is Important to Renters

Follow me on:

With today marking the 40th anniversary of the original Earth Day, Rent.com had commissioned a national survey of 1,000 adults across the United States to evaluate Americans' attitudes toward eco-friendly apartment lifestyles.

According to the survey, 86% of Americans would prefer to live in an eco-friendly space, and more than half (55%) are willing to pay more in order to do so. Interestingly, renters were almost three times as likely as non-renters (11% vs. 4%) to say that living in an environmentally friendly home is an absolute necessity.

How important is green living to you?
