After attending class and learning that my survey was sub par with the assignment, I went ahead and made a new far superior survey. I have since gotten 25 responses and a few angry descriptions of nature in the short answer box. Since I posted this to facebook, this survey has been one of the most exciting events in my social media life. I found I have a very diverse group of friends which I attribute to living in an urban area that tends to be liberal, but the city is still located in the conservative South. There probably is somewhat of a bias because my close friends all took the survey and we all love nature a pretty good amount.
I found that most people think nature is very important to them personally and to help us survive. Although, most people think nature is important there seems to be less who are willing to actually change their and societies ways to better suit the environment. Actions speak louder than words, but words are easier and more comfortable. Also, while most still think that nature is important, they give human society a higher value than nature.
Here is the link to my survey so you can see the questions and fill it out yourself!

Survey Results
For my survey, I asked some friends who are all in college the questions relating to how willing they are to change their lives to better suit the environment. The questions I asked where would you be willing to only eat food that comes from a 100 mile wide area, would you be willing to spend more on quality goods that will last longer and drastically cut back on items frequently disposed, and would you be be willing to devote time to recycle and compost?
The results that same back where pretty equal for all question with 7 out of the 10 people answering yes on the first two questions and 5 answering yes on the last one. I believe this correlation has to do with the first two questions regarding ways where ones life would stay relatively similar and they would still be able to continue a consumer lifestyle. The last question actually asks or work to be put into it so that is why it was less favorable with the people.
