How far would you go to help the environment and tackle climate change?
According to a survey commissioned by the UK National Lottery, young people are prepared to support radical measures to help the environment.
The findings include:
50% of 16-19 year olds want plastic bags banned completely.
71% think that unnecessary packaging on food should go.
13% want a ban on travelling by plane for leisure purposes.
24% think there should be increases on the taxes and tolls affecting cars.
10% are prepared to go even further and would support a complete ban on cars if global warming continues to get worse.
9% would even go so far as to support guerrilla activities carried out by environmental groups.
The survey also asked young people about how green issues influence other lifestyle and relationship choices.
How do you feel about these issues and how far would you go to help protect our environment? Leave us a comment below.

Well as were heading towards a 2c rise anyway, and have a 50/50 chance of it not getting worse if we cut CO2 by 80%, the time for all these things may be getting closer. If you think a 3c global rise will warm the house up in the winter then think again. A silent catastrophe happening and if push comes to shove I'd support all those things 101% (So long as it's non violent of course!)
