At 18:53 21/08/01 -0400, you wrote: Hi. I hope you can help with preparations for an upcoming meeting of US regional environmental groups working to slow global warming. We are trying to get a feeling for what colleagues in the environmental field think would be the best climate actions to integrate into public awareness and social marketing campaigns aimed at individual citizens. I d very much appreciate it if you would spend a few seconds considering and answering the following two questions. We will keep your answers anonymous and we will let you know the results! Thanks so much, Adam Q 1: Please list the three most effective actions you think individual citizens can take to help reduce global warming (list highest priority first). 1. Avoid air travel ...... vacation at home; cut down on those unnecessary business trips. 2. Purchase a high fuel efficiency car 3. Purchase green electricity from your energy provider Q 2: Please list the three actions that you think individual Americans would be most likely to do, if asked, to help reduce carbon emissions (list most likely first) Can't answer for Americans! For Brits I would guess ......... 4. Plant a tree 5. Buy energy efficient light bulb 6. Recycle more of their waste I take it you've seen the excellent book by Dauncey and Mazza - 101 solutions to global climate change.
