Only 47% of UK adults believe that individual efforts to limit their own impact on climate change are worthwhile, although this rises to 70% of readers and users of the Guardian and Observer, who tend to be more eco-conscious.
The research further shows that 40% of UK adults think that pollution from other countries makes our efforts irrelevant, falling to 17% among the GNM audience. The study mirrors other recent research that shows that consumers are not prepared to pay a premium for more ethical goods and services. More than that, more complex or expensive purchases such as solar panels, electric vehicles, travelling by train abroad and ethical loans remain beyond the means or desires of the majority. http://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/motivates-consumers-environmental-ethical-decisions Sent from my iPad > On May 17, 2016, at 12:22 PM, Bruce Lawton via EV <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'm in London this week and surprised at the lack of EVs.
