Abstract
This study explores the opinions of a random sample of the general population of the state of Kansas concerning the environmental pollution controversy. Five clusters—environmental concern, governmental trust, industrial trust, environmental protector, and personal commitment—are formulated from the data and are utilized as the basis for the discussion of findings. It was discovered that the respondents were concerned about the environmental issue, were not particularly trusting of governmental and industrial efforts to solve the pollution problem, were only somewhat dedicated to environmental protection, and were relatively committed personally to aid in solving the pollution problem.Keywords
