I am trying to find papers on three issues: 1) has the average environmental literacy (in the US or abroad) increased, declined, or remained stable over the last few decades. 2) does environmental literacy level influence engagement and/or interest in environment issues. (I am also interested in non-environmentally focused articles that demonstrate linkages between literacy and engagement/interest in other policy areas) 3) how does or does literacy and/or interest levels influence environmental policy. (related papers demonstrating hope public literacy in other topics woudl be useful too!)
