Public concern for the environment and quality of life is increasing. The present study surveyed the attitudes toward pollution and quality of life of a sample (130 men and 153 women) from a California city whose environment is highly desirable. People expressed concern for the environment but were not willing to pay for conservation with higher taxes. Men and women differed in the extent of agreement with some of the attitudes surveyed.
