Environmental awareness is an incredibly important part of our lives. In order to protect the sustainability of the planet, everyone needs to commit to becoming more environmentally aware. The emphasis should be on the teaching people how to think, rather than what to think. Environmental awareness not only implies knowledge about environment but also the attitude, values and necessary skills to solve environmental related problems. People need to learn ways to perceive environmental problems. It is very essential for each individual to develop an awareness of protection and prevention towards the environment. It is imperative that humans implement new ways of thinking and change their current ways of living due to irresistible effects of environmental degradation. It is only the knowledge and understanding that can do this. College students not only study this for themselves but can spread the knowledge and understanding to others in their family, neighborhood etc, which can help to restore degraded environment. So, it was decided to construct an environmental awareness scale for college students. This questionnaire was aimed at uncovering the knowledge and conceptions of college students about the environment and other issues relating to environment. This tool will help to find out environmental literacy and the environmental awareness index of the college students.
