Voters want scientific solutions to policy issues

The results of a recent study completed by Scientists & Engineers for America seem to point towards a promising future for green business innovation and opportunity.

Over 1,000 eligible adult voters took part in the SEA phone survey in June. Participants were asked whether science policy issues such as education, health care, energy, and climate change would influence their vote in the 2008 Presidential election.

The results were clear! Voters in both parties favor a candidate who supports technological advancement and scientific solutions to the major policy issues that affect our nation and our planet.

When asked to rate (on a scale of 1-10) the importance of public policy decisions based on science and technology, 72% of respondents rated the issue between 8-10.

Additionally, 78% of voters said they would be more likely to vote for a candidate committed to using public investments in science and technology to meet energy demands. 70% of respondents also said they would support a candidate dedicated to tackling global climate change through scientific research and new technologies.

Can your business help meet the demands for this new research and technology?

This study provides strong evidence of the direction the market is headed in. More people than ever before are aware of the need for sustainable innovation in every industry.

Change will not take place in localized or exclusive sectors! It will infiltrate every niche until sustainability becomes the new standard. Businesses that aren’t green simply won’t be able to compete with more efficient and profitable competitors.

Now is the perfect opportunity to ask how your company can contribute to this green business revolution. If you can make sustainable improvements or contribute to the research and technology that voters consider highly important, business growth will follow naturally!
