WHAT WE ALREADY DO & WHAT WE NEED TO DO

The most common pro-planet behaviours that people across the UK already do are:

■ Turn off unused lights - 61%

■ Re-wearing clothes (and not washing them after one wear) - 48%

■ Keeping the home heating to a healthy home heat - 46%

■ Using a reusable water bottle - 44%

However, some of the easiest and free ways to reduce the impact households have on the environment are still ignored by most people:

■ 70% of people have never used the eco setting on their washing machine

■ 66% of people shower with no consideration of time

■ 66% of people use standby instead of switching items off
