MOST older people want the government to move faster to tackle climate change, a new study suggests.
A survey of 500 over-50s found that four out of five wanted more action, with many agreeing it might mean products and services would be more expensive or more difficult to access.
Rest Less, which offers advice to older people, said its research indicated only a minority were not concerned about climate change.
More than two out of three respondents said they had bought fewer clothes in recent years to reduce waste and half said they had reduced energy use in their homes.
Half of those surveyed said they use their car less and eat less meat and dairy, while one in five said they now only buy seasonal food.
Rest Less founder Stuart Lewis said: “Our research shows that midlifers feel a huge sense of responsibility for the health of the planet and their role in reducing climate change.”
