The document analyzes the results of an eco-behavior test taken by teenagers and adults. It finds that adults generally consider themselves more eco-friendly than teenagers, as they more often separate garbage, buy fewer single-use plastic items, and shower for shorter periods. However, both teenagers and adults express a willingness to purchase more expensive eco-friendly products.
