Abstract

A 3-year survey of urban undergraduates showed sustainable attitudes account for about 12% and Connectedness to Nature (CNS) accounts for 4.6% of variance associated with frequency of sustainable behavior. A weak positive correlation between CNS and frequency of sustainable behaviors indicates those more connected with nature act more sustainably.
