The data for our study was acquired from an online survey that was conducted between
August 2012 and October 2013. The survey asked the respondents to evaluate eight features
(current state of the environment, trend of the environment, level of general education,
environmental knowledge, motivation to act pro-environmentally, personal skills to act,
possibilities to act, and availability of environmental information) in their own country, in two
neighbouring countries, and in two control countries. A total of 1861 responses were received,
and 543 of those passed the initial screening. After the responses were divided and distributed
to their appropriate countries, we had sufficient number of answers for 57 countries
