SOURCES OF INFORMATION ON PRO-ECOLOGICAL BEHAVIOUR OF STUDENTS OF THE FACULTY OF ECONOMICS OF THE WULS-SGGW

Abstract

The research aimed to verify the sources of information used by students of the Faculty of Economics of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW (WULS-SGGW) in shaping their ecological attitudes. The research issues have been reduced to answering the following questions: 'which sources of information on the desired pro-ecological behaviour were most often indicated by the respondents?' and 'is there too much information on appropriate behaviour towards nature in the public space?'. The survey technique as used in empirical research. The sample consisted of 119 students of all fields, levels, and forms of study at the Faculty of Economics of the WULS-SGGW. The research shows that this information was rather easily accessible to the respondents, and the main source as social media and internet portals. In the opinion of the respondents, the analysed issues are not excessively exposed in the media, as evidenced by the limited traceability of pro--environmental campaigns.
