Living in the Environment 18th Edition by Tyler Miller,Scott Spoolman

Exercise 16

Polls have identified five categories of citizens in terms of their concern over environmental quality: (a) those involved in a wide range of environmental activities, (b) those who do not want to get involved but are willing to pay more for a cleaner environment, (c) those who are not involved because they disagree with many environmental laws and regulations, (d) those who are concerned but do not believe individual action will make much difference, and (e) those who strongly oppose the environmental movement. To which group do you belong Compile your answer and those of your classmates and determine what percentage of the total number of people in your class represents each category. As a class, conduct a similar poll of your entire school and compile the results.
