Further, tracking only online behavior leaves out anybody that doesn’t live online, as well as those who don’t participate in chat rooms or message boards online. And often it's a pretty big stretch to assume that those who are participating online are completely representative of those who aren't. Nevertheless, observational research is a lot more informative than a push poll, any day.

Nevertheless, if all market research firms made a conscious effort to weigh the “green-ness” of the research method as one of the criteria for the research, we think our field could reduce its carbon footprint significantly. And lets not forget that even online surveys leave a footprint. All those computers and servers running do require energy.
