The new generation is imposing an ecological revolution, particularly in behavior. 90% of 15-25 year olds say they are concerned and ready to change their way of life. They have become whistleblowers at the level of each family.

What if addressing the climate issue was a matter of generation? Finished indifference, young people no longer hesitate to refer parents to their climate responsibility. “They make me move a little where I don’t necessarily want to move so it’s nice because afterwards it makes me think on my own”, confess a mother. To make his parents aware of ecology, Matthieu Sattlera 26-year-old engineer, does not hesitate to carry out his inspection. He installed a shower head that consumes less and offered compost in the garden, for example.

Matthieu’s brother, Jean-Christophe Sattlershares his convictions and no longer flies. Sometimes it’s between friends that you have to raise awareness of climate issues. Germain L’Hostis wants to instil daily ecological reflexes in its roommates. One of them is like this pass to the electric scooter. “Wherever we can make efforts, we must make them”assures Germain L’Hostis.
