Conclusions
The following conclusions were drawn from the findings of the study:
teaching and learning environment, with students recognizing and prioritizing specific
sustainable behaviors. The majority of respondents were female, in their late teens to
early twenties, and primarily in their first year of the BTLED program. Most respondents'

the curriculum, educational institutions can positively influence students' behaviors and
that age and profile characteristics do not hinder the adoption of eco-friendly practices,
advocates can broaden their outreach and engagement strategies. This study underscores
the importance of perception in driving behavior change and provides a foundation for
educational contexts.
Recommendations
Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, the researcher highly
friendly practices across relevant courses and modules, ensuring a holistic approach to
practices on campus and in the surrounding community. This could include recycling
knowledge of eco-friendly practices with local schools, youth groups, and community
organizations. This two-way knowledge exchange will benefit both the students and the
friendly practices and their ability to apply them in real-life scenarios. Include project-
based assessments, portfolios, and reflective journals to evaluate not only knowledge but
