Only 27% of men consider themselves to be green according to a recent study.

The survey carried out by Men's Health Magazine revealed that although 91% thought that recycling is important only 67% of men actually do it. Is it just a matter of being too lazy that stops our boys from saving the planet?

Suprisingly 61% of those questioned said they used low energy lightbulbs and a staggering 91% always turn the light off when they leave the room.

Sounds like men may not be into recycling but saving energy is high on their list of priorities. Well when we see that 83% say they would make the effort to go green if it meant saving money we can see it's more a case of Mr Scrooge than Eco-warrior.
