8 Surprising, Depressing, and Hopeful Findings From Global Survey of Environmental Attitudes

8 Surprising, Depressing, and Hopeful Findings From Global Survey of Environmental Attitudes | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
Consumers in many countries are adopting eco-friendly behavior, but others aren't ready to be green.
PIRatE Lab's insight:

This is a good benchmark.  But, lumping all Russians or Americans or Chinese together is perhaps not the best way to go about doing this.  There is marked difference in consumption in Moscow vs. Siberia, Los Angeles vs. Alaska, etc.  While the country level aggregation is great, it would be nice if we could see the break down (and especially the variance) of attitudes in the larger countries.

 

This might make a particularly interesting comparison for some things when it comes to next week and our Coastal Opinions polling is done for the year.
