Green World
• After especially industrial revolution, environmental pollution has increased gradually.• At first, this process was underestimated by people and
institutions but today, the awareness about it goes up.• Some researches and studies to establish green world are
carried out by states and institutions such as recycling and renewable energy projects.
Why is protecting the environment important? Because environmental pollution;• changes climate of the world (global warming)• decreases water resources• reduces efficiency of earth• decreases biological diversity• brings out energy shortage• bring along serious nutrition problems • breaks ecosystem balance
LITERATURE REVIEWKnowledge of environmental issues defining the literacy about
environment has been evaluated on the basis of the attitude towards the environment, the usage of environment and environmental issues. According to the descriptive statistical analysis results, teacher candidates’ points of environmental knowledge is insufficient. On the other hand, the results have shown teacher candidates’ have an environmental-oriented perspective and an awareness towards environmental issues (Teksöz, Şahin & Ertepınar, 2010).
In Yale University, there is a course ‘Sustainable Development and Institutional Change’ offered by the Environmental Studies Department in order to raise awareness about the environmental issues. The program includes informational sessions on «green» resource use, recycling competitions, energy conservation workshops, and orientation sessions for freshmen and new students. (Parker, 2007)

Evaluation of Survey• Majority of people are not aware of the importance of environment. • Approximately half of the people believe that environmental projects are
not supported by the society.• 3 – 10th of people say that such projects are not given support by
municipality.• In university campuses, environmental issues are not given enough
importance by administration, academic staff and students.• In the majority of universities, there is no the department of
environmental sciences and environmental project which is carried on.• Majority of people do not have taken part in any environmental project.
SUGGESTIONS• The environmental awareness should be raised by telling the importance of
environment in terms of our future.• A course closely related to environmental issues should be added to the
curriculum.• What we can do for the healthy environment should be expressed to people
of all ages. • The environmental projects should be supported by university
administration.• The opportunity of expertation in environmental sciences should be enabled
and supported by government and university staff. • Environmental education should start in preschool.
LIMITATIONS
• Restricted number of participants • Restricted variability of the participants (Different University
Environments)• Restricted number of survey questions
