But according to new research commissioned by National Citizen Service (NCS), it's top of the list for today's 11-16 year olds. The study revealed that the environment and air pollution top the list of concerns for Brits aged 11-16, and as a result, 87 per cent of them have already made changes in the last year in a bid to combat climate change. Unsurprisingly, plastic bags, plastic straws and plastic bottles take the top three places for things younger people are giving up, but some of the other sacrifices on the list are a lot more usual. Baths and aerosols both also feature as things people have given up to help save the planet, as well as face wipes and cotton pads also taking some of the top spots. “Our research highlights that young people are already making strides towards saving our planet with their daily choices, and we look forward to seeing tens of thousands of teens making an even bigger impact through their social action project on NCS this summer.”
