Students hop on planes to save the planet

YOUNG people may claim they want to save the planet, but they are determined to see it first.

Those aged 15 to 24 are more likely than any other age group to oppose restrictions on air travel, the fastest growing contributor to climate change.

Despite being better schooled in environmental issues than previous generations, they are twice as likely as those aged 65 and over to reject measures that would slow the growth in flights.
