Questionnaire - English

Consent form 

Objective and procedure 

We are researchers from the BIRD team at LORIA and we are conducting an experiment to study the relevance of different actions to reduce one's carbon footprint. Our long-term goal is to develop a recommendation system for such actions. 

The experiment will have three stages. The first stage will simply consist of a questionnaire, allowing the researchers to acquire prior knowledge about the participants' environment. In the second stage, actions to reduce one's carbon footprint will be proposed, which the participants will be free to accept or refuse. A few days after each of these requests, the researchers will come back to the participants to ask if the action has been completed. This stage will end on 23 July, and will result in a final questionnaire. 

Anonymity and confidentiality 

The data collected will consist of the list of participants' email addresses, the answers to the questionnaires, the list of proposed actions and the list of completed actions. A random identification number will be given to each participant. All data collected will be stored anonymously and confidentially, with the exception of a table of correspondence between email addresses and participant identification numbers which will be deleted once the third stage of the experiment has been completed. Anonymised data will be kept for a maximum of two years. No data will be used for commercial or industrial purposes or passed on to an unauthorised third party.
