According to a recent survey, environmental consciousness is a highly desirable trait for prospective daters, especially among Gen Z.

Do you bike to work?

Fifty-seven percent of respondents reported this as their top green flag, followed by driving an electric car, being a nature lover, carrying reusable grocery bags. Having a reusable water bottle was also on the green flag list. Red flag number one was being a global warming denier, with 45 percent of participants saying that was their top red flag. Traits disliked in addition to littering, were wasting food and not recycling. Interestingly 52 percent shared that they’ve broken up with someone over their unsustainable habits. Sixty percent said they were the one who had been dumped. Apparently tree huggers are really popular!
