Women are Leading a Quiet Green Revolution

Our wonderful friend who works for the non-profit Virginia Conservation Network sent us this article Women Are From Earth, Men Are From Terra Firma where the following statistics are highlighted:

Women are up to 15 percent more likely than men to rate the environment a high priority.
Women comprise up to two-thirds of voters who cast their ballots around environmental issues.
Women are more likely than men to volunteer for and give money to environmental causes, especially related to public health.
Women report both more support for environmental activists and more concern that government isn't doing enough.
Women support increased government spending for the environment, while men favor spending cuts.
