"What sustainable lifestyle practices do you prioritize in your daily life?"
Key Takeaways
In Ireland, sustainability starts with the basics, minimizing water usage tops the list at 29.8%, a likely response to recurring hosepipe bans and growing national discourse on water conservation. Next comes recycling and composting at 20.87%, a nod to Ireland’s well-developed waste segregation systems and rising landfill levies.
Eco-friendly household products (10.28%) beat out energy conservation (6.62%) and ethical consumption (6.42%), indicating more focus on visible actions than long-term impact. Alarmingly low are sustainable transport (2.81%) and renewable energy adoption (0.76%)—both critical for decarbonizing Ireland’s future. The pattern is clear: Irish households are engaging in sustainability where it’s easiest or most encouraged, but deeper lifestyle shifts remain on the fringe. For climate action to scale, daily choices must move beyond bins and taps.
