Three quarters of 16-24s say tackling climate change is important
Hot off the press… This will probably be a shock to Daily Mail readers and the like, but it turns out far from spending our waking hours thinking up new ways to get high, sponge off the state and indulge in random acts of violence, we’re actually worried about climate change - and prepared to do something about it.
In a survey of 1,225 16-25 year olds, three quarters agreed that it’s important for them as individuals to do something about global warming. And they had no doubt that climate change will affect their lives - 78% believe they’ll see the effects in the next 50 years.
A massive 94% say communities working together is important to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Hopefully, Climate Squad can dish up some answers for the third of you who want to do something but don’t know how.
We’re planning everything from light audits and environmental flashmobs to longterm projects helping schools, businesses and councils to change their ways.
