Description
Older adults are often cast as climate victims, but their daily habits may make them climate actors too. Yeonsoo Shin and Giyeon Kim mine a 2022 Korean national survey of 15,252 adults in a 2023 study, comparing people under 35 with those over 65. The survey covers climate awareness and four green habits: transit use, recycling, cutting disposables, and saving water and power. Statistical tests look for age gaps and for how awareness steers effort.
Younger adults know more about climate change. Older adults waste less food and save more water and power, while recycling matches across ages. Awareness pushes recycling in opposite directions by age. The authors argue that raising awareness among seniors could unlock real climate action.
