Insight of the Week: Actions toward More Sustainable Behavior Vary by Age

Insight of the Week: Actions toward More Sustainable Behavior Vary by Age

People under 30 are less likely than older people to claim environmentally friendly behaviors like bringing their own shopping bag, recycling waste, and avoiding single-use plastics.

Conversely, younger consumers are more likely than those over 30 to volunteer in their local communities and shop second-hand.

There is an opportunity for brands to connect and engage with a younger generation who are excited about sustainable living but need support to change their everyday behavior.
