If you\u0092re not willing to make significant sacrifices in your life to save the environment, don\u0092t worry, you\u0092re 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 \u0093shows 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 that\u0092s not the case.\u0094 But that\u0092s 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?<\/p>\n
