90% of Greeks believe that after the pandemic we should do more for the protection of the planet and recycling, protothema.gr reports.
The vast majority of Europeans feel that more needs to be done for the environment and recycling after Covid-19, according to a pan-European survey on behalf of the Every Can Counts program, which aims to raise public awareness of the benefits of aluminum can recycling and the circular economy.
The survey, carried out by the British polling company Lucid in 14 countries, records a tectonic shift in the priorities of European citizens. The data showed that 86% believe that it is more important than ever to protect the environment and recycle in the post-Covid-19 era.
Greece was among the top five countries – along with Italy, Romania, Ireland, and the United Kingdom – of the countries that place environmental protection as the top priority in a post-Covid-19 era.
A noteworthy point is that in spite of the deterioration of economic indicators caused by the pandemic, 52% of respondents across Europe would not put the economy above the environment if they had to choose between the two.
