Neuchâtel, 26.01.2016 - (FSO) - In 2015, 92% of the population evaluated the quality of the environment in Switzerland as very or quite good. 42% said that they always paid attention to the electricity consumption of goods when buying electrical appliances. Four years earlier this figure was only 35%. At home, 24% of the population said they were disturbed by traffic noise and 19% by air pollution.
