A survey of 1,000 children, aged six to 11, and their parents, found that 93% of youngsters are worried about environmental issues around the world – with 53% of parents saying their little ones have voiced these concerns to them. However, when it comes to deforestation, over a fifth of kids (22%) were not aware of the negative impact of cutting down lots of trees – and over half of adults also admitted they lack understanding on this subject. But nearly two-thirds of children (63%) are keen to learn more about deforestation and what it means – although 86% of parents are sometimes, or often, left stumped on how to answer their offspring's questions or concerns. It also emerged that 38% of adults were unaware that toilet roll can be made from trees – despite the fact that over one million trees are cut down globally, each day, to provide the world with loo paper. To highlight the stark impact of deforestation across the globe, and the catastrophic rate at which trees are being chopped down to make toilet paper, classic children's story Winnie The Pooh has been reimagined to reflect environmental changes.
