Environmental Education to Boost Pro-environmental Behaviour in Reducing Plastics Consumption Among Students in Universitas Bina Darma Palembang
AI summary Read the abstract
This Indonesian study evaluated the effectiveness of an environmental education program on university students' knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported behavior regarding plastic consumption. Students showed significant improvements in environmental literacy and reported intentions to reduce plastic use after the program.
This study investigates university students' perception, attitude, and self-reported pro-environmental behaviour concerning plastic consumption and pollution pre- and post-environmental education (EE). There were 161 students participating in the EE and completing questionnaires. These data were collected from the students of Universitas Bina Darma in Palembang, Indonesia. The analysis process employed Wilcoxon sign-rank tests. The findings exhibit that students perception, attitude, and self-reported pro-environmental behaviour regarding plastic consumption and pollution significantly increased after the implementation of environmental education. This study can benefit universities, governments, and non-governmental bodies for policymaking and other environmental decisions to reduce plastic consumption and pollution for more sustainable future.

Perilaku Pemakaian Plastik Sekali Pakai oleh Mahasiswa dalam Aktivitas di Fakultas Matematika dan Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam Universitas Mataram
AI summary Read the abstract
A study of college students in Indonesia found that even though most students know single-use plastics (like bags and bottles) are bad for the environment, that knowledge doesn't always translate into actually cutting back on plastic use. Interestingly, students studying environmental science were better at avoiding plastic than other students, suggesting that being surrounded by a culture that values sustainability makes a real difference in habits. This matters because single-use plastics break down into microplastics that can end up in our food, water, and bodies—so closing the gap between "knowing better" and "doing better" could help reduce our long-term exposure to these particles.
