Concerns about environmental problems due to rapid economic growth have been undoubtedly increased the past few decades. The conservation of the natural environment and the satisfaction of human needs have attracted a lot of attention from individuals to policymakers. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effects of environmental education, knowledge, information and lifestyles on ecological behavior and sustainability goals. More specifically, the emergence of a possible relationship between environmental education and sustainability and the correlation of lifestyle and individual attitude with ecological behavior constitute the research questions of our study. The researchers conducted a quantitative analysis by collecting data from 116 questionnaires. The results indicate a lack of knowledge diffusion on environment from schools whilst even though people's emotional commitment and attitude towards environment are significantly augmented, their ecological behavior is erratic in particular occasions.
