| Summary: | A 2007 survey was conducted of more than 1,900 faculty and 2,300 students affiliated with member institutions of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU). The survey included, among other items, questions about environmental beliefs and behaviors. In general, faculty and students with theologically conservative self-identifications were less likely to acknowledge the anthropogenic influence on climate change, to recycle their wastes, or to accept cuts in their standard of living to protect the environment. In addition, business faculty and theology students were least sympathetic to environmental causes in their responses. Students became more pro-environment in their attitudes and behaviors as they progressed through the collegiate ranks. |
