When the battle is between green and green (cash), green is king. That is that green efforts have gone by the wayside for many when economic realities come to play. A recent Gallop poll released on Tuesday of 1,014 Americans produced record low responses associated with the environment. Approximately 53% of respondents indicated that economic growth takes precedence to environmental issues. Only 50% worry a "great deal" about drinking water pollution, 33% are concerned about the loss of rain forests, and 31% are concerned about the extinction of plants/animals. Other findings include:
46% today are concerned about waterway pollution, down from 72% in 1989.
44% today are concerned about toxic waste contamination of the air/water, down from 69% in 1989.
38% today are concerned about air pollution, down from 63% in 1989.
28% today are concerned about global warming, down from 41% in 2007.
