Key Takeaways

Tangible, home-based actions take priority, while community-level or systemic changes remain out of reach for most. 30.2% prioritize minimizing usage, a choice shaped by growing concern over groundwater scarcity in regions like Brandenburg. Recycling and composting, long considered staples of German eco-consciousness, rank much lower at just 8.9%. Instead, dietary change gains momentum: 14.6% adopt a plant-based diet, signaling a cultural shift fueled by debates over meat taxes and the environmental impact of livestock farming. Sustainable transport trails at 5.4%, despite Germany’s dense rail network and cycling infrastructure.
