Home planet, useful tips to learn how to be sustainable. In the last year, two out of three Italians, especially young people and women, have changed their habits to protect the environment. And they claim to have done it more for ethical reasons than savings. This was revealed by a survey by the Piepoli Institute illustrated at the presentation of the guide "Planet=Home. Let's learn to be sustainable” made by Procter & Gamble Italia, Corepla, Wwf Italy, Aideco and Altroconsumo. In fact, according to the survey in question, 43 percent of those interviewed have changed or are changing some habits, 16 percent the majority and 7 percent have redefined all their habits.

The fronts on which, according to the survey, those interviewed would like to do more at home are energy saving (67% of the sample), waste reduction (42%), water saving (38% ) and recycle (for 28%). It is above all the scientific community that influences the choices of the interviewees, but also the children, the main "ambassadors of sustainability" for almost a third of the over 54 interviewees.
“Often small actions that may seem insignificant, such as turning off thewater when we brush our teeth or shower while we soap or even lower the washing temperature in the washing machine. These are actions that have a very large impact on the planet. In fact, we know that 85 percent of scope 2 CO3 emissions are generated right at home, during the use of products”, says the president of Procter & Gamble Italia, Paolo Grue.
