I don't think you can draw a broad brush stroke about things like that, really. I know plenty of people in both demographics that 'buck the trend' so to speak.

I'm not a boomer but we are 'older' compared to someone in their 20's. We put a lot of effort into doing things that are right for the planet but we are far from perfect.

My parents, on the other hand, refuse to acknowledge that there is even a human component to what is happening to our planet. They blame volcanoes . They don't recycle because it causes a 'bug problem' in their house. They spray ridiculous amounts of toxic chemicals in and around their house to control bugs and keep their lawn pretty. They drive big cars with big gas guzzling engines (though, since they are both retired...they don't drive much anymore). They think 'organic' is a scam. They do have an efficient house and appliances, but that's to save money...not the planet. It's still just two of them in a 5K sf house for pete's sake.... And if something is broken, they buy a new one. Fixing it is a waste of time and money.

Yes, it drives me insane. It's a good thing they are still lovely people or I'd have to disown them!
