• “To take car of  buying seasonal vegetables” (68%, + 4 points since 2018),
• “To lower the home temperature by 2 or 3 degrees in winter and / or to limit air conditioning to 26 ° in summer” (64%, + 3 points),
• “To reduce meat consumption in the household” (50%, +5 points),
• “To consume less” (48%, +1 point),
• “To choose products with less impact on the environment” (40%, +6 points).

However, certain actions are more difficult to implement, particularly in terms of mobility:

• “To use public transport rather than car” lost 2 points (28%),
