courant.com | Survey: Knowledge Of Sound Minimal

courant.com | Survey: Knowledge Of Sound Minimal: "Most people living near Long Island Sound know little about water pollution and their own impact on it, but they say they are very concerned about the environment, a new government-sponsored survey concludes.

The survey, issued Wednesday, says a majority of those responding did not think there was anything they could do to improve the quality of water in the Sound. But, they think things might improve if other residents changed their everyday behavior.

'This suggests a deep-seated failure to understand (or care about) how one's personal behavior impacts local water quality,' the study concludes."
