Saikumari, K.
ABSTRACT
Many necessary individuals and institutions today are of the opinion that education is the key to increase
awareness, knowledge and concern for environment among students and as a result promote pro-environmental
behavior. Pro-environmental behaviour can be defined as actions of an individual or group that advocate
and/or
result in the sustainable use of natural resources (Sivek and Hungerford, 1989/90). This paper is based on
an
empirical research work done to assess pro-environmental behavior of secondary and higher secondary students
from urban and rural areas.
Keywords: Pro-Environmental Behavior, Secondary Students, Higher Secondary Students, Urban and
Rural Areas, Environmental Awareness, Sustainable Development, Environmental Education.
