According to a recent government survey carried out by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, 50% of people in the UK do not think that climate change will affect them in their lifetimes with 18% saying they do not think that it will affect their children in their lives either.

Minister for the Department of Energy and Climate Change said, “Climate change is already happening and could have serious consequences for all of us.”

The other 50% of people surveyed said that they believed that by changing their individual actions they could make a difference to climate change.

Over 40% of the UK’s C02 emissions come as a result of people’s personal choices and by making ‘greener’ choices such as recycling mobiles or walking or instead of using a car we can all help to save the environment.
