“…The outcomes of the pre-test on students' proenvironmental attitudes are consistent with the results from a study conducted by Said et al (2007) involving Malaysian secondary school students. The study by Said et al (2007) to gauge their level of environmental understanding, awareness and knowledge indicates that current practice of environmental education has effectively raised environmental consciousness but was rather ineffective in changing action and behavior patterns.…”

Problem statement: Agenda 21 of Chapter 36 spelled out the role of education in imparting knowledge that could develop behavioral change that leads to sustainable lifestyle. In line with this, University Sains Malaysia has embarked on various projects and activities in educating and preparing the campus community towards tomorrow's sustainability. One of the strategies taken to address ESD is through the integration of green chemistry experiments into the curriculum. Approach: Green chemistry which is a laboratory-based pedagogy was employed to educate the student teachers enrolled in the chemistry teaching methods course at the (name of department). By incorporating Green Chemistry principles into the chemistry curriculum, these future educators can provide students with a positive message about what chemists are doing for the environment in fulfilling the obligation and responsibilities of environmental stewardship. Educators would also have the opportunity to transform student perceptions about the role chemistry plays in society and to address the need to discover and develop sustainable chemistry for the future. Results: Assessment of the impact of the experience on student-teachers showed them to be intrinsically motivated in committing pro-environmental actions.The environmental values and environmental attitudes of the student teachers were observed to undergo change as well. Conclusion: This study has been shown that it is possible by educational means to encourage the inculcation of positive environmental values and to teach the skills and cognitive basis required for active participation as individuals and members of the community.

“…In the present study, television is thought of as being the major source of young people's environmental information, and school is the second major provider. The present study also shows convergence with other studies (Pawlowski, 1996;Ivy, Lee, & Chuan, 1998;Connell, Fien, Lee, Sykes, & Yencken, 1999;Barrett & Kuroda, 2002;Said, Yahaya, & Ahmadun, 2007) where the media were highlighted as the main source of environmental information. In the present study, television has also been afforded a high score for provision of information, but it has a lower rating of reliability.…”
