In a survey conducted in 2023 among Australian consumers regarding their attitudes towards sustainability, over 50 percent of respondents aged 65 years and older indicated that the main obstacle they faced when trying to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle was that sustainable products or services were more expensive. Half of participants in this age category also said they don't think adopting a sustainable lifestyle will make a difference. Compared to other age groups in the survey, those aged 65 years and over were the least interested in purchasing sustainable products, with around 28 percent of respondents in this age category not interested.
