These findings are not very surprising, and are in accordance with the recent findings of surveys that have shown countries with lower average income being “greener” than the most “developed” countries, for example

Below are the fourteen nations surveyed in order of how “green” they are:

1. Brazilians
2. India
3. Chinese
4. Mexicans
5. Hungarians
6. Russians
7. British
8. Germans
9. Australians
10. Spanish
11. Japanese
12. French
13.Canadians
14. Americans

Brazil, India have 'greenest' lifestyle, US trails | CorporateResponsibility.Net
Americans least environmental, according to a new survey
In the context of the above, since there appears to be evidence that economic power is inversely correlated to “green-ness” between countries, it is very likely that similar trends will also be present within countries, since it would the same hierarchical processes that determine these factors.
