Social Dilemma (−) | |||||
If individually I do something for the environment it will not change anything | NAM1 | 3.15 | 2.231 | 1 | 7 |
If other local farmers do not participate in biomass agroenergy, I will not be willing to contribute to this supply chain either. | NAM2 | 2.64 | 1.927 | 1 | 7 |
If I do something for the environment, I am ingenuous, because I will always suffer the environmental consequences of damaging action committed by others | NAM3 | 2.72 | 1.959 | 1 | 7 |
