Description: The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of the ecological footprint education for sustainable life on attitudes towards environmental problems and behaviors levels in the 8 th grade science and technology class This research was carried out in the Science and Technology Lecture of the 8th class students of a secondary school which is in Ankara Kazan district, during 2013-2014 academic years. In this study, pre test–post test control group semi experimental design containing experimental and control groups was used. In the research, “Attitude Scale towards Environmental Problems” and “Behaviors Scale towards Environmental Problems” being pre-test and posttest for both groups were used as data collection tools. Finally, the applications of ecological footprint education towards sustainable life were seemed to be effective on students to change their attitude and behaviors against the environmental problems.
