Researchers measuring pro-environmental behaviour in Canada at the household level found that British Columbia and Québec lead the pack. The study was conducted using the answers to 39 questions on the 2007 Environment Survey of Statistics Canada.
They found out that households in British Columbia, Quebec, Prince-Edward-Island and Nova-Scotia were the greenest opposed to Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Newfoundland-and-Labrador which ranked poorly.
A full report (available in French only) examining the 2007-2011 trends was published in April 2014.
