The Impact of the Educational Level on the Adoption of Pro-Environmental Behaviors
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: This quantitative research aims to identify whether there is a correlation between the education level of consumers and their environmental attitudes and behavior. The sample test involved 2,687 Greek consumers aged between 18 to 29 years. The non-parametric Kruskal Wallis test to investigate possible differences in the environmental awareness of the survey participants about their educational level showed that consumers with a higher level of education are more likely to be aware of environmental protection issues, which is reflected in their daily habits. Our findings suggest that a further increase in the supply of education can improve current environmental problems, not only in Greece, but also globally.
