- One of the richer sources of free information about trends is Google. Why? Because it is the global leader in search and, as such, provides a barometer on what's hot and what's not.
Google's 'Think with Google" recent series, "Year in Search 2021," is a seven-chapter opus offering lots of great insight into consumer trends. For example, the chapter on Sustainable Living cites fascinating year-over-year search statistics, such as:
- 100% increase in searches containing "electric vehicle charging"
- 100% increase in searches containing "volunteer opportunities near"
- 100% increase in searches containing "food donation centers near me"
- 80% increase in searches containing "second hand stores"
- 40% increase in searches containing "equality"
- 30% increase in searches containing "environmental sustainability."
