Environmental awareness is understanding the fragility of our environment and the importance of protecting it. Promoting environmental awareness is an easy way to become environmental stewards and participate in creating a brighter future for our children. One of the most compelling reasons to study environmental science and management is the fact that, in the view of many leading authorities, we are now experiencing an environmental crisis; Indeed, many authors have claimed that the current environmental crisis is unprecedented in its magnitude, speed and intensity. As a result, a wide range of environmental problems have arisen; Those problems include anthropogenic climate change ('global warming'), depletion of stratospheric ozone ('ozone hole'), acidification of surface waters ('acid rain'), destruction of tropical forests, species depletion and extinction. , and drastic reduction of biodiversity. However, while all these problems have physical (environmental) manifestations, their causes - and their possible solutions - are always tied to human attitudes, beliefs, values, needs, desires, expectations and behaviour. To avoid destruction of our environment every person should be aware about environment. In present study, the researcher investigated environmental awareness of secondary school students.
