Overview

A brief 7-item behavioral measure asking respondents whether they have engaged in specific pro-environmental behaviors during the past two years. Covers both political behaviors (voting based on environmental positions, contacting government agencies) and personal behaviors (recycling, buying environmentally friendly products, donating to conservation groups). Developed by Nooney et al. (2003) in a study of North Carolina farmers and non-farmers.
