HTMLEnvironmental views and behaviour, 2007-08

22 June 2009This survey presents information on people's views and practices on environmental issues, for people aged 18 years and over. The data collected provides information on environmental concerns, personal energy and water use, waste collection and disposal and environmental involvement. Data from this survey are used to obtain a better understanding of the factors that influence people to participate in environmental activities and energy and water conservation practices.

The statistics were compiled from the Multipurpose Household Survey (MPHS), conducted throughout Australia during the 2007-2008 financial year, as a supplement to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) monthly Labour Force Survey (LFS). This is the first time that data about environmental views and behaviours have been collected in the MPHS.
