Abstract

Sustainability efforts will benefit from understanding the relationships between attitudes and behaviors concerning the environment, climate change, and physical activity. Significant correlations were found, but not with walking, instead of driving, between classes. While positive attitudes may reinforce sustainability-related behaviors, situation-specific interventions are likely needed to motivate behavior.
