Raw Story: Conservatives are less likely to purchase products labelled as environmentally friendly, according to research published online Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“A popular strategy for marketing energy efficiency is to focus on its environmental benefits,” Dena Gromet of the University of Pennsylvania, the lead author of the study, explained. “But not everyone values protecting the environment. We were interested in whether promoting the environment could in fact deter some individuals from purchasing energy efficient options that they would have otherwise selected.”
Seriously, they're pro-pollution. There are various theories and scientific studies that seek to explain why this is, evangelical dominionism, the belief end times are near so what does it matter, the belief the earth needs to be broken for Jesus to come back, etc, but the real reason is conservatives are pretty much just assholes.
