SUMMARY OF SURVEY BY FRENCH PUPILS

 

We must comment on the results of the survey. The majority of people are not really informed about uranium & sustainable development. We have 50% of female and 50% of male covered by this survey. And the majority of people who answered were under 20.

Here are the results of sustainable development questionnaire:

 

1.      In the opinion of the 240 people we asked, 22% believed coal to be the most frequently used energy source, 33% believed it was gas, 4% believed it was solar and geothermic power, 35% believed it was oil, 3% believed it was hydraulic power and 3% thought it was uranium.

 

2.      To the question of whether or not the state of the planet was linked to energy consumption, 5% of people replied that they strongly disagree, 17% replied that they disagree,  35% replied that they agree,  30% replied that they agree completely, and 7% replied that they disagree.

 

 

3.      In the opinion of the people we questioned, 3% felt that coal pollutes the least, 14% felt that natural gas pollutes the least, 75% felt that geothermic and solar power pollutes the least, 5% felt that oil pollutes the least, 2% felt that hydraulic power pollutes the least and 0% felt that uranium pollutes the least.

 

4.      In the opinion of the people we questioned, 8% felt that coal pollutes the most, 2% felt that natural gas pollutes the most, 8% felt that geothermic and solar power pollutes the most, 39% felt that oil pollutes the most, 7% felt that hydraulic power pollutes the most, and 35% felt that uranium pollutes the most.

 

 

5.      In the opinion of the people we questioned, 10% felt that coal was the most suitable energy source for the future, 40% felt that natural gas was the most suitable energy source for the future, 60% felt that geothermic and solar power. were the most suitable energy sources for the future, 0% felt that it was oil, 10% felt that hydraulic power was the most suitable energy source for the future, and 0% felt that uranium was the most suitable energy source for the future.

 

6.      To the statement "on the whole, satisfactory progress has been made in the field of sustainable development in the last five years", 7% of people replied that they strongly disagreed, 22% of people replied that they disagreed, 24% of people replied that they agreed, 0% of people replied that they agreed completely, and 0% replied that they didn't know.

 

 

7.       As for the frequency with which sustainable development is discussed, 33% of people replied that they heard it discussed once a year, 33% said it was once a month, 20% said it was once a week, and 13% said it was once a day.

 

8.      The age of the 226 people questioned in our sample was distributed in the following way: 55% were under 20, 2% were aged 20 to 30, 13% were between 30 and 40, 25% were aged between 40 and 50, and 5% were over 50.

9.      50% of the people questioned were female, and 50% male.

 

10.Our survey was carried out between 12th January and 20th February 2005.

 

 

Suggestions what we should do in this matter:

 

I think the best is the solar panels because it can stop waste of the electricity, and the construction of a lot of stations. The solar energy is more ecological, and more sensitive for the landscape. To limit the pollution, we should use the bicycles in the city instead of cars. I would like to introduce the ban on  nuclear power stations because they create danger.

THE RESULTS OF SURVEY CONDUCTED BY GREEK

 

question 1

Out of 240 people, which we asked, 22% claim that coal is the most used source of energy, 33% claim it is gas, 4% solar energy and 35% oil, 3% water energy and 3% uranium.

 

question 2.

For question: Is there any connection between state of our planet and usage of energy? - 5% absolutely do not agree, 17% don't agree, 30% absolutely agree.

 

question 3

3% claim that coal makes less pollution, 14% think that it is gas, 75% solar energy and geothermical, 5% oil, 2% water energy and 0% uranium.

 

question 4

For question: Which of energy sources makes less polution? - 8% opted for  coal, 2% were for gas, 5 % solar energy and geothermical, 39% oil, 7% water energy, 35% uranium

 

question 5

For question: Which of energy sources are the best for future? - 10% claim that it is  coal, 40% gas, 40% solar energy and geothermical, 10% water energy, however uranium and oil 0%.

 

question 6

7% questioned people completely disagree with the statement that "Satisfactory progress in sustained development had been made in last 5 years" 22% disagree with this statement, 24% agree. Nobody answered that totally disagrees.
