To
protect the earth, the environmental movements have been started around the
world.
The environmentalism has gotten a rapid growth in the societies by enrolment
in
various parts including colleges and universities. Human behaviour is known
as the
main responsible for the environmental degradation. Therefore, to protect the
environment the term Green Behaviour has been introduced. This
behaviour
promotes the one which ables to reduce the damages done by human on the
environment. This study reviews the concept of Green Behaviour
and Green
Consumerism. Furthermore, the aim is to investigate the influential factors
on the
behaviour of the respondents to perform green behaviour. Based on the review
of
other studies, it can be concluded that there are two groups of factors which
can
affect the intention to perform this behaviour. The first group concerns with
the
socio-demographic characteristic of the respondents such as age and gender.
However, by the review of psychology literature, the second group contains the
factors of Environmental Knowledge and Environmental Attitude.]]>Ajzen, I.,19851985pp: 11-39pp: 11-39Ajzen, I.,200232665683Acuff, D.S.,1997Pages: 216Pages: 216Anderson, Jr. W.T. and W.H.
