| 4. | Description | Abstract | The study on environmental attitude was conducted to assess the environmental attitude of college instructors and students in Liceo de Cagayan University main campus to be used as basis for sustainable solid waste management. The study employed the descriptive method utilizing a survey questionnaire adapted from Tentawi et al., and distributed randomly to selected faculty members and students from the different colleges. Five –category responses based on the Likert scale were the basis for obtaining data. The frequency and mean were obtained. The mean values were translated into their descriptive measures. Results showed that there are more ‘stronger agreements’ from the teachers than from the students indicating that they exhibit stronger environmental attitude. Out of the ten (10) items found in the survey questionnaire, four (4) responses expressed neutrality indicating a lack of awareness and environmental concern on the part of the students. This may imply that students have a low degree of connectedness to the environment. Their agreements equally come from both ecocentric and egocentric stand points. The results entail exerting more effort in intensifying environmental awareness especially among students, creating committees and policy formulation within the institution.  Keywords: Environmental attitudes, sustainable waste management |
