| Summary: | The present empirical study assessed factors as environment, education, social pressure and
government actions from the perspective of promoters of sustainable behavior of students. In
this regard a survey was conducted in one of the largest university in Romania. Our results

(Ajzen, 1991), which links the individuals’ attitudes with their behavior. Implications of our
results are also discussed. |
