That most people don't know about that, and I think is important to know about so you can do some change.

I have been surprised to see that people do not reduce energy consumption even knowing the consequences they bring and the extra expenses they produce.

What surprised you most about this video was that the most effective message that helped people was the one about social presure, when people should do it for themselves and to improve their life managing

It surprised me that people don't reduce as many energy as I thought, It was also surprising that the people who tried health reduced the most.

I thought that people who were sent money messages would reduce the energy consumption since most people value money a lot.

Lost of humanity,this is what suprised me the most. People showed no response when it was about environment's health,instead they came into action when it was about competition and seeing themselves no.1 and having gold star,it clearly shows that people now are no more attached with nature and other's pain
