Men, pick up the slack!
This is part of a series of short news updates beyond Greenpeace-specific news. World environmental events in a blurb:
Men are slacking when it comes to climate change, at least that’s what a recent survey in Australia showed. The survey conducted by the Australia Institute, found women are doing more to tackle climate change, and plan to do more in the future, than men. (Maybe that’s why the emissions trade scheme isn’t getting passed in Australia’s gov’t)
The survey showed that women are taking climate friendly actions such as installing energy-efficient light globes, spending less time in the shower, and turning off appliances at the switch.
The online poll of 1000 people, who the institute said were representative of the general population, found about 80 per cent believed climate change was occurring and Australia needed to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
So either women spend more time on computers filling out surveys or men, you need to pick up the slack.
