Abstract | The author examined the environmental attitudes of African American college students by using the 15-item New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) Scale. The author also attempted to determine their everyday environmental behaviors such as recycling and conservation and investigated major information sources for local, national, and international environmental issues. In general, African American college students were modestly proenvironmental, as determined by the NEP Scale. In terms of behavior, recycling of 5 different materials ranged from 13% to 15% of participants. Television and the Internet were the students' major sources of information on environmental news, and daily newspapers and governmental sources were the students' least used sources.
