RE3.org survey results: Bar and Restaurant Graphics

Recently we asked visitors to RE3.org’s Web site and friends or followers on RE3.org’s various social networking pages to take a survey to rate recycling posters intended for bars or restaurants. The survey was conducted through Survey Monkey, and we had 83 respondents as of 02/01/2009. Two-thirds of respondents were female, and most respondents fell into the 18-34 age range.
