A nationwide probability sample survey of 1,004 respondents was conducted by ORC by telephone beginning on October 24 through November 9, 1975. Most people believe that a serious need to save natural gas exists in the United States, and they express a willingness to personally make efforts to conserve it. They understand that heating homes consumes a great deal of natural gas, and take steps to conserve home heat. Many consumers do not realize that it takes a great deal of energy to heat water. People do not understand how natural gas supplies are allocated. People believe that natural gas should be conserved in order to save natural resources for the future. Because of this, they would be receptive to reliable, credible information on how to conserve effectively. (GRA)
