According to a new Bhumi Global survey, Hindus around the world see global environmental issues as an urgent concern. The poll, which was conducted last year and analyzed over the past few months, is the first such global survey conducted among Hindus. Participants of the survey represented the gamut of the Hindu population, including India, the United States, Canada, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Mauritius.
The Survey Analysis revealed some of the most common Hindu sentiments, which include concerns about water pollution, biodiversity loss, deforestation, climate change, and air pollution.
Among the most important findings of the survey include:
● 98 percent of respondents said they were concerned or very concerned about environmental issues.
● All of the respondents in the survey said environmental issues need to be addressed urgently.
● 95 percent said they would change their lifestyles to better help the environment.
● About ¾ of respondents said they would better educate themselves on how to further help the environment.
● The same number said they would more actively recycle and avoid single-use plastics.
● Respondents were more likely to get their information about the environment from social media than religious leaders.
