In this study, high school students awareness of ecological issues and problems and the level of their active participation in ecological activities have been identified, and the effects of some factors as family school and media on their ecological awareness and active participation have been investigated. The study was carried out in Coimbatore schools by conducting a survey on senior students consisting of 6 classes from three high schools which have different demo- graphic and socio-economic levels. The results of the study showed a high level of ecological awareness among participant students. However, it is understood that ecological disclosures made in schools are insufficient and the participation level of students to ecological activities is low. Students rather gain experiences in the field of environment from mass media (i.e. audio, printed and visual media). It is revealed that female students have a higher level of ecological awareness and active participation level. In addition, when family income and family education level increases, ecological awareness and active participation level of students also increases.
