Student knowledge and opinions on key environmental issues.

A questionnaire, the Student Environmental Knowledge and Opinion Inventory (SEKO), was administered to 200 randomly selected university and 200 randomly selected high school students. The findings indicate that students are naive and uninformed about numerous key environmental issues. Furthermore, their environmental-political opinions reflect a marked thrust of pessimism and apprehension relative to their ability to shape and control the environmental present and the political-environmental future.
