"Eco-adopters" create more travel-related pollution than general population, says survey
A survey of travel habits conducted by the Target Group in the UK has shown that people with certain green habits (joining environmental groups, using green products) also have some of the biggest carbon footprints. Why? Their travel habits. According to the survey, such people also fly abroad often and drive cars.The survey of 25,000 people found that so-called "eco-adopters" are 7% more likely to take flights and 4% more likely to own a car. Similar trends were seen in the U.S. and France.
Good reminder that travel has a carbon footprint, including air travel. To calculate your carbon footprint, see the Nature Conservancy's carbon footprint calculator here.
