The study identifies the environmental education awareness among school teachers in relation to level of school, residential background, gender and subject specialization. A self-designed questionnaire to measure the environmental education awareness was administered to a stratified sample of 3,600 school teachers. Analysis of variance results revealed significant variation in the environmental education awareness level of school teachers in relation to their level, residential background and subject specialization. However, no significant variation was observed in relation to the gender of school teachers.

Abstract:The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of Attitude towards Television (ATTV) on consumers' Environmental Concern (EC) and perceived consumer effectiveness (PCE) in developing countries. The model developed for the study further shows the impact of perceived consumer effectiveness (PCE) and consumers' attitude towards green purchase (ATGP) on their green purchase intention (GPI). Data from 574 respondents were collected through an online questionnaire and the hypothesized causal relationships were tested using structure equation modeling (SEM). The findings of the study revealed that ATTV has a significant impact on consumers' PCE and EC. EC was found to have a significant impact on consumers' ATGP, while the PCE and ATGP were found to have a significant impact on GPI. This study provides an insight into the importance of the use of media to enhance the consumers' environmental concerns, perceived consumer effectiveness, and consumers' attitude towards green products which ultimately has a positive impact on green purchase intention.

“…For instance, early agenda-setting studies reveal a strong relationship between coverage of environmental issues and individual-level knowledge and attitudes toward the issues. Researchers find that television coverage of the environment increases people's knowledge about the issue (Brother, Fortner, & Mayer, 1991). News media attention to pollution also affects the salience of the issue with the public (Ader, 1995).…”
