Most Chinese very aware of green issues, China Daily-EDF survey finds

A majority of Chinese people have a high degree of awareness about climate change and are willing to mitigate their carbon emissions as a possible solution for global warming, according to a bilingual survey jointly conducted by China Daily and Environment Defense Fund (EDF).

More than 90 percent people who took the survey said they are somewhat or very concerned with the global warming issue and a majority of them agree that carbon emissions generated from humans activities are causing the problem, the survey finds.

When it comes to their own daily life, more than three-quarters of people are willing to take actions themselves, such as saving water, electricity and fossil fuels in their daily life to go low-carbon, though they admit the difficulties in achieving it.
