Andrew

Andrew, 25 I'm working with the BRE to build a Level 6 (zero-carbon) house. We're using sustainable construction resources, electrical goods, sanitary ware, white goods - everything.

Alex

Alex, 22 We recycle at home. The least eco-friendly thing I do is travel by plane quite often.

Beth

Beth, 16 I help my college to recycle. Also, through the charity Envision, I'm volunteering at Kentish Town Farm and raising money to buy a farm in Africa. The worst thing I do for the environment is fly by aeroplane.

Jan, 16 It's important to educate young people about their ways, but I don't think there's much we can do really. The problem round here is all the traffic pollution.

Yousef

Yousef, 18 I recycle quite a lot in my household. The least eco-friendly thing I do is fly quite frequently.
