Eco-action* is a commitment to oneself and to all living things that can be prepared, built and improved through specific support.

This survey is for people who:

1. Want to take truly positive eco-actions**;

2. Carry out or build eco-actions (of all types and levels of impacts).

I am Laura Bernadet, Positive Eco-actors Accomplice. For more details see my Linkedin profile www.linkedin.com/in/laura-bernadet-bremner-b7649950

The objective of this survey is to obtain the broadest possible vision of the different experiences of as many people as possible in order to refine my support for those who wish to take truly positive eco-actions, as well as for people who are building them or who wish to improve either the eco-actions they are already taking or their relationship with them.

Definitions (optional reading)

*Eco-action (with a capital E ) is a generic name used to refer to the social movement that is part of a process of engagement with a positive and significant impact for the viable and sustainable regeneration of the health of the biosphere.

**An eco-action (with a lowercase e) is an individual or collective organized action, carried out on a voluntary or professional basis, that aims to have a positive impact, directly or indirectly, on improving the health of the biosphere. It is mainly defined according to the type and level of impact sought, the sector where it is applied and its geographic scope. An eco-action is part of a real process of engagement of "eco-conscious" people. It goes beyond the "eco-gestures" imposed by municipal obligations such as domestic recycling, water restrictions, polluting vehicle taxes, etc.

Examples of eco-actions: responsible individual consumption, local group on territorial resilience, eco-journalism, eco-education , eco-oriented artistic creation, low-tech association, regenerative agriculture, political commitment, etc.
