Wow. This is what MBA's are studying? Spend north of $50K and become an expert composter. Where do I sign up?

You should get your money back...

I have become a master of taking perfectly good food and turning it into *****

Been in the composting business for almost 36 years now!

Helped my parents set up one of those plastic composting bins one year. Turned out to be a fantastic rat habitat. It's like having a French Quarter kitchen in your backyard.

I would recycle more but the city only picks up the green every other week so everything goes in the trash in off weeks. So blame the government for lack of recycling.

Pretty sure it's all going to the same landfill anyway ever since China stopped taking our plastic and dumping into their part of the ocean.

Since when did Mays put these guys in charge?

Solar farms are the big push on Se Tx farm, timber, and ranch land. On top of all the federal tax credits and subsidies, the companies are even asking for and often getting local property tax abatements. School taxes included…

But these are not initiatives by small businesses in my area. Mostly foreign corporations sucking US taxpayers money. And local tax payers also.

Your survey needs some work if you want good data out of it:

Need to add an option for unsure.

Setting up "green" business practices will be challenging with my staff*

Difficult if everyone is remote or if everyone is on-site. Should probably specify office employees

My business is open to adopting more environmentally sustainable approaches to organic waste disposal.

---

Need to specify what "environmentally sustainable" is. Is that a guy on a bike picking up our trash instead of a truck? A guy sorting through our trash for organics? A guy paying me to pick up my organics?

I would participate in composting if I knew more about it.*

This line of questioning is bad. First you need to separate who composts and who doesn't. If I already compost, I can't answer this question. Then you need to ask the people that don't WHY they don't. Too expensive? Not enough room? Don't know how? live in an apartment? business in a high-rise without lawn or soil to compost on? rats? Not enough material? Then you can identify which portion of the market you are going to pursue and how big of a market that is.

This question doesn't provide any meaningful responses unless you specify whether the decision is affected positively or negatively. Some people purposely steer clear of green businesses.

Getting a tax break / write would motivate my business to participate in supporting a cause

This depends heavily on the cost of composting vs the cost of the tax break. Use a question that sees how committed a business is to this. Ask what percentage they are willing to increase their trash disposal costs by to compost their organics.

I don't want your professor to discount all of your data due to inaccurate questions.
