Reaching Out: Broadening College-Student Constituencies for Environmental Protectionhttp://www.globalethics.org/reaching_out.pdf

The Institute for Global Ethics, in collaboration with the Gallup Organization, has recently released the report, Reaching Out: Broadening College-Student Constituencies for Environmental Protection. This survey data provides insight into how US college students think about the environment. It looks at the relationship between their core values and their environmental interests and provides some initial answers about ways in which the environmental community might shape messages that will draw the students into action. In collaboration with the project, the Institute has also published a new secondary school curriculum on environmental ethics called "How Big is Your Backyard?" which became available in July 2001.
