B
A survey has found that more and more British people are taking steps to a more eco-friendly living as climate change becomes a bigger problem. According to the survey, green living is on the rise among British people, with 79% of participants (参与者) saying that they are greener than they were ten years ago.
The survey including 2,000 British people found that four out of five British people say they are greener than they were a decade ago. 61% of participants believe that they have a duty to live a greener lifestyle, and 70% want to keep making lifestyle changes to be more eco-friendly.
What actions are people taking? The survey found that reusing, eating less meat and avoiding single-use plastics are the most common eco-friendly actions. It also found that people do not understand which actions can be the most helpful for the environment.
For example, 53% of participants didn’t know that cars have a higher carbon footprint (碳排放量) than trains, and only 19% are now trying to travel more by train to reduce the pollution.
Of course, this is just one study with a group of 2,000 people. Even so, there does seem to be a move towards greener living. For example, according to the official website, the reusing rate increased in England between 2010 and 2019. Research by NatCen Social Research found a big drop in meat eating between 2012 and 2018.
While we shouldn’t celebrate too soon—there is still lots of work to be done to fight climate change and any move towards greener living is certainly good news!
