one thought would be to look at roper poll data (e.g., the dunlap et al. new environmental paradigm), and analyze it on a state by state basis . . . off the top of my head, my suggestion would be to control for the major predictors (e.g., education/age, gender, urban/rural) . . . unfortunately this is going to result in cells with small n's, but it would at least be suggestive . . . further, i think that if one could show that the several education/sex/location groups in state a were consistently over time more green than those in states b and c, then one could say that a is a green state . . . cheers, craig

I have a thesis student who is doing some work with the idea of states having a "green identity." Other than our Sprout runner-up, Eckersley (The Green State), any suggestion for general readings on the idea that states might have green identities? Beth
