If youre not willing to make significant sacrifices in your life to save the environment, dont worry, youre not alone. A <ahref="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/environment_energy/65_say_americans_not_willing_to_make_major_lifesty le_changes_to_help_environment">new Rasmussen survey shows that only 17% of adults believe most Americans would be willing to make major cutbacks in their lifestyle in order to help save the environment. Most (65%) say thats not the case. But thats the name of the game for radical environmental agendas and even government regulations geared towards forcing Americans to use less energy.* Environmentalists want people to dramatically change their behavior. Of the ideas suggested by environmentalists or proposed/enacted by Members of Congress, what would the respondents consider major cutbacks?
