PROTENVI (Percentages are weighted by WEIGHT; Total Ns reported are unweighted) I am going to read you some pairs of statements that will help us understand how you feel about a number of things. As I read each pair, tell me whether the FIRST statement (This country should do whatever it takes to protect the environment) or the SECOND statement (This country has gone too far in its efforts to protect the environment) comes closer to your own views, even if neither is exactly right.   1) First statement   2) Second statement   3) Neither/Both equally   4) Don't know/Refused
