The ecological culture of Russian and american college students

Abstract

Comparative research data show that there is both a high level of ecological concern and a high level of ecological passivity among students in Russia, indicating that their ecological culture exists only on the symbolic level. The "green" culture of American college students, in contrast to that of Russia's college students, has become the "normal" paradigm and is propagated by the main social agents and social institutions. © 2014 M.E.
