Energy Efficiency
The extent of the green revolution in Britain's households will be revealed today with figures showing that more than 80 per cent of people believe they have a "duty" to recycle household waste.
Findings, to be published by the Office of National Statistics, show a dramatic increase in the number of people who say they have at least one energy-saving light bulb in their homes. The survey found that 81 per cent of people say they have at least one low-energy light bulb at home compared to just over 30 per cent a few years ago.

Public attitudes and behaviours toward
the environment
When asked for their attitudes about recycling, 81 per cent strongly agreed or tended to agree that “people have a duty to recycle”. Approximately two thirds strongly agreed or tended to agree that “Waste not want not” sums up their general approach to life”.
When presented with a list of actions that could be seen as environmentally friendly, 26 per cent said that they always or often “use their own shopping bags”. However, a greater proportion, 37 per cent, said that they never do this. The smallest proportion, 3 per cent, said that they always or often “do not buy something because it has too much packaging”. Fifty-nine per cent said that they never do this.
