Kids’ fears for planet

-

BRITISH kids worry more about climate change than drugs or booze abuse.

The Earth’s health is their third-biggest concern, after being bullied and the risk of another world war.

Fears rise as kids age, a survey for energy company Pure Planet reveals.

Fifty-four per cent of 14 to 17-year-olds fret over our climate, compared to 39 per cent of five to 13-year-olds.

London children are most anxious about the planet, followed by those in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
