Mike: I completely agree with you. Most individuals that do the array of things you mention usually are much more humble about their acts. It sounds like the survey targeted anybody who purchases “green” products more than those who live green lifestyles. I would assume this survey is talking about the average person that buys at local natural good stores and thinks they are saving the world.

For those who are really green, living solar, growing food, building Earthships and Straw Bale houses, driving small engined or hybrid vehicles and having one child, the altruism is for future generations. I have a hard time believing the study included really green living people. I don’t believe people who care so much for the biosphere and future generations would stoop to stealing. I know that I wouldn’t and I was not questioned for the survey.
Some bike riders and vegan types may be that way, but are they really totally green in their life?

Yaa it’s true.. I have came across such people..they always brag about being ” green”. Nina Mazar is right, we can’t force other but atleast make them aware by providing information.

This study is not surprising. I see this kind of behavior all the time. Too many think that being green makes them better than others. The classic examples are the bike riders who look down on drivers for polluting.
