Passage 8. Consumers and the environment

ln recent years, concern about the environment has been endlessly discussed in the media, and consumers have

regularly been told how to change their lifestyles in order to reduce their impact on the planet. But how much has this

influenced their behavior? Recent surveys suggest that even though there is greater awareness of environmental tssues,

much more needs to be done to change people s behavior. Concern for the environment alone is not enough to change

habrts Over half of the people in the surveys said that they had made changes such as buying recycled products or

recycling paper and glass, Holvever, only a fifth said they were taking fewer flights - a major cause of greenhouse gas

emissions * and less than 5% were usinq more environment -friendly hybrid cars.

.o10

"The problem is human nature," says a leadrng environmentaiist, "because changing to more eco-friendly habjts meansnot having some of the things we're used to. Instead of telling people what luxuries they will be giving up by changing theirbehavror, we have to give a more pcsitive message about what they wiil be gaining.

Changing consuTner behavior is complex, but the most effective pressure thai can be applied is flnanciaf , While gas pricesremained affordable, people used thetr cars without thinking about the environmental cost, But as world oil pricesincrease, car owners are looking for ways to reduce car use. ln countries where public transportation is limited, manypeopie have few alternatives. \¡Vhat is clear is that it will take more than recycling paper and plastic to save the planet,

36 The marn idea rn the article ís that _.a. the environment is a serious issue

. b it's difficult to make people change their lifestylesc. gas pnces are more erpensived. people should buy more recycled goods

37. Recent surveys on consumer behavior show that people

a, know little about environmental issuest b. don't care much about the environment

c, have made big changes in their buying habitsd r¡ril have to change their behavior more in the future

38 The vlew of a leading environmentalist is that consumers _,a are willing to change their habitsb. are being given a positive message about the environmentc don't want to give up their lifestylesd. are used to not having luxuries

39. The writer says that the best way to change consumer spending habits is toa. make things nore expe"siveb convince people it's the right thing to doc tell people about the environmental costi e:3ecore JSe thelr cars

ai.3: says ¡nat now car owners _.a. don't think about the cost of gasb buy environment-frlendly gasc. use public transportation more oftend. drive less often to save money
