Fewer than 1 in 5 would give up their smartphone to mitigate climate change, YAF poll found
According to a poll published on Aug. 13, 2023 from the Young America’s Foundation, two thirds of college students believe climate change is a threat to their generation, but fewer than one in five are willing to give up their smartphones to help, a recent poll found. More college students would sacrifice having children and eating meat before giving up their cellphones.
The poll, facilitated by Echelon Insights, asked 812 college students in mid-July about a wide variety of topics, including environmental issues. According to the poll, 86 percent believe climate change is happening, and nearly two thirds, 67 percent, believe it is a threat for their generation. But when asked what they are willing to give up or significantly cut down on to “help mitigate climate change," only one in five - or 13 percent - chose their smartphones.
Anthony Watts, senior fellow for environment and climate at the Heartland Institute, said the results did not surprise him. He said giving up a smartphone - “essentially a visual stimulation drug” - is like trying to end a drug addiction, and it isn’t surprising that students are more willing to sacrifice almost anything else.
