A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 91.1 per cent of Australians aged 14+ agreed with the statement "I try to recycle everything I can" in the year to September 2016. This compares with 81.3 per cent in the year to September 2001. The survey also shows that Australians aged 14-17 remain the least likely to recycle (69.7 per cent in 2001 and 81.7 per cent now). The 65+ age group is still the most likely to recycle, rising from 89.2 per cent in 2001 to 93.8 per cent in 2016. Meanwhile, 63.2 per cent of Australians now agree that "At heart I’m an environmentalist", down from 68.8 per cent in 2001, while 26.1 per cent of the population now believes that "Threats to the environment are exaggerated", up from 22.2 per cent in 2001.
