The vast majority of British adults plan to become more environmentally friendly when the nation eventually emerges from lockdown.
A study of 2,000 people found 70 per cent believe the restrictions and, change in consumption habits associated with coronavirus, have had a positive impact on the planet.
Two-fifths plan to continue with some of their lifestyle changes even when social distancing measures are lifted so they can do more to reduce their personal impact on the environment.
Twenty per cent are considering using their car less in the future to cut their carbon footprint, and 27 per cent plan to reduce the amount of rubbish they throw away.
