Ecological civilization is the inevitable route of human development. However, the practice of ecological civilization is not as positive as expected, especially for college students. Hence, the aim of this research is to investigate how to strengthen the practice of college students towards ecological civilization in China. Based on the Triandis’ Interpersonal Behavior Model, a questionnaire survey is performed to explore the status quo of factors affecting college students’ ecological civilization behaviors. Results reveal that society does not provide enough facilities for ecological civilization. Thus, as personal interests conflicting with the environment, some college students would not carry out the concept of ecological civilization. Meanwhile, though most of college students have the right attitude and good habits of water saving and waste batteries proposal, the guidance of ecological civilization for the habits of takeout and online shopping has not been formed. Also, college students could not actively participate in ecological civilization construction. Therefore, to strengthen ecological civilization practice, it is indispensable to acquire joint efforts from individuals, government, families, universities and social organizations. The practice of ecological civilization is inseparable from the efforts of every college student. Besides, the government, every social organization, every family, and every university should create appropriate facilitating conditions, so that college students could form ecological civilization habits consciously. At the same time, universities, society and family should form good social reference standards to directly and indirectly educate college students so as to help them identify their roles and self-concept.

But, it should be noted, that in the process of wine buying, several factors come into play: wine brand, wine label and bottle type, price level, region of origin, and discounts, among others (e.g., Diamantopoulos, Schlegelmilch & Palihawadana, 2011;Ghvanidze, Velikova, Dodd & Oldewage-Theron, 2016;Hollebeek et al, 2007;Mueller & Lockshin, 2008;Tang, Tchetchik & Cohen, 2015;Teng, 2009;Williamson, Lockshin, Leigh & Mueller et al, 2016).

“…Consumers' ethical concerns towards society and environment are not only transformed into their consumption behavior.
