Three in five Americans say they will make a New Year's resolution to live a "greener" or more environmentally friendly lifestyle in 2015, according to the results of a nationwide public opinion poll released by Tiller, LLC, a leading advocacy marketing consultancy.
The survey reveals Americans' deep and growing concern for the environment. When asked which factor posed the greatest long-term threat to their health and well-being, Americans chose climate change and environmental problems (45%) above terrorism (35%) and global epidemics like Ebola (21%). This prioritization is consistent with Americans' increasing concern over global warming and the belief expressed by more than half of all respondents (57%) that the condition of the environment has worsened over their lifetime.
