Over 75% of Brits Say They’re Greener Today Than They Were 10 Years Ago: Poll
A poll of 2,000 adults found three-quarters of respondents said they were greener today than they were a decade ago—with a large majority believing they have a responsibility to live a sustainable lifestyle.
Making greener choices than ever before, 58 percent described being environmentally-conscious as a ‘badge of honor’.
Collecting rainwater, turning off lights, and carrying reusable bags for shopping are among the top 10 ways Brits are helping the planet.
Other top hacks include giving up single-use water bottles and only washing clothes if they look dirty.
Yet 55 percent still want to ‘up their eco game’ and make even better choices for the planet.
The survey was carried out by OnePoll and commissioned by Yeo Valley Organic, which uses regenerative farming in its practices.
“It’s more important than ever to learn new green habits, and we love sharing good choices for both people and the planet,” said spokesperson, Beth Jones.
