A nexus between environmental literacy, environmental attitude and healthy living.

It has been widely acknowledged that environmental literacy can provide a strong foundation for future environmental responsiveness, as well as help in the transition towards more sustainable societies and healthy living. According to environmentalists and social scientists, behavioural intentions to sustainable consumption and lifestyle among citizens will help to nurture global environmental and economic sustainability and foster environment and human health development. The study tries to assess the adoption of sustainable lifestyle and healthy lifestyle practices through the designing and demonstration of quantitative method applying environmental literacy as a major predictor in the process which leverages environmental attitude towards such outcomes based on a literacy-sustainability-lifestyle-health modelling framework. The gap between learning and implementation should be addressed through integration of sustainability issues in awareness campaigns by government, NGOs, local bodies and educational institutions.
