Tokyo the Least Eco-minded City?

A recent survey on 2,600 participants from the top eight richest cities in the world, Tokyo, New York, Paris, London, Milan, Moscow, Toronto and Frankfurt, revealed  that Tokyoites  “don’t want to sacrifice a convenient lifestyle to prevent global warming.”

Though Japan is at the cutting edge of green technologies, its citizens are the least eco-minded in the world. They came last for considering that “an eco-friendly lifestyle is comfortable”, for studying about global warming and preserving the environment or for buying eco-friendly products. As a paradox, more then 90-percent of them feel threatened by global warming.

On the other side, Parisians and Milanese are supposed to be the happiest to change their habits for a greener planet.
