Think that 19-year-old, hemp-wearing, bike-riding, vegan college student is the greenest person in your postal district? Maybe. But chances are that local housewives do more for the planet than most of his classmates.That's according to a new study by the University of Granada -- which found that those who receive the most education about their environmental impact (like college students), aren't necessarily the ones working hardest to fix the problem. Even when it came down to the simple task of separating glass from other garbage (so it could be recycled), it turned out that housewives were more likely to engage in this eco-friendly habit than their collegiate counterparts.
Apparently a few of those "activists" on campus are too busy going to class, sticking it to the man, and playing Frisbee in the quad to do anything about their carbon footprint. I guess we'll just have to wait until they get a little older, get married, and move to the suburbs -- then the planet will be saved!
