Abstract

We determine whether weekly exposure through climate change-based educational modules will predict the greatest change in behaviors and attitudes compared to a double-, single-, or zero-exposure to the information in the classroom. Preliminary results show a link between individual behaviors and their perceived exposure to ecologically-friendly norms within their environment.
