The document presents an executive summary of a telephone survey conducted in May 2009 by researchers from Clemson University, focusing on the environmental attitudes and behaviors of residents in the Midlands region of South Carolina. The survey, which included 403 respondents, aimed to assess concerns about water quality, knowledge of environmental issues, and participation in conservation efforts. Key findings indicate that residents are highly concerned about water quality and value greenways, with a basic understanding of pollution sources. However, there is a low level of awareness regarding local organizations and ordinances aimed at improving water quality. The results serve as a baseline for future environmental education initiatives.
