From my survey of ten individuals, primarily college students, I found that there is not a consensus on what the definition of renewable energy. Most had a guess on the definition of human power, but there was also discrepancy between answers. Most of the group said that human power was a renewable energy source. When asked what technology they associate with human power, a majority of the group stated bicycle. Everyone who was surveyed said that they would use technology that harnesses human power if it was accessible and did not infringe on their lives. They would use the device if it was convenient. A few of those surveyed have heard of a sustainable dance floor. Most said that they would dance in public with and without friends. This surprised me because I thought that people would be more reserved about acting silly in public. To aid in this dancing, a majority of the group stated that having good music play would encourage them to dance. More people stated that they are drawn to exhibits featuring light, but a little less than half said that they were drawn more to exhibits featuring sound. Everyone surveyed stated that the would be interested in learning more about human power.
It looks like our work is cut out for us ... we need to educate the population on what the definitions of renewable energy and human power are. :)
