This study identified ‘high’ level of awareness and involvement of pupils in water and electrical conservation and eco-waste management. Homogeneity of responses is evident. Sex appears to have significant relationship on the pupils’ waste management involvement.



DepEd-Calamba City



Sex appears to have significant relationship on the pupils’ waste management involvement. Females are more involved on waste management than males. Therefore, the hypothesis “There is no significant relationship between respondents’ profile variables such as age, gender and grade level and the pupils’ level of awareness, and involvement in environmental protection and conservation was partially not accepted
