It’s not easy to define what environmental literacy is, but based on discussions of (Schneider, 1997) and (Bobick, 2001), we can say that environmental literacy is the capability for a contextual and detailed understanding of an environmental problem in order to enable analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and ultimately sound and informed decision making at a citizen's level.

Meanwhile, the participants of this study were selected by a simple random sampling technique dividing the 60 students into two groups; an experimental group of 30 students who were subjected to environmental ethics infusion method and the control group of another 30 students who used the traditional method. Noticeably, no data were given as to the number of female or male students used for each group. Thus, there is no way to establish conclusion that such sex group, either male or female, is more environmentally knowledgeable than the other. Morever, the traditional method was not clearly outlined as... [continues]
