| description | The green and sustainable campus concept is not something new to Malaysia universities. Green campus is often the first step taken by the university towards sustainability. The problem that is often encountered today is that many of campus residents do not understand and what should be done to make their campus a better one, not just about to get a good ranking among the other campuses, but more than that, to have a good practice to preserve the environment. The younger generations can indeed play a major role in addressing sustainability. Thus, the aim of this research is to examine to what extent green campus and sustainability practices awareness exists among UUM students. Data is collected through face-to-face interviews with selected respondents. Overall, we found that, regardless of demographic, UUM students appear to be aware on green campus and sustainability practices. They are interested in environmental topics and improving the UUM environment overall and did expect university to look further into this matter. |
