Summary
Eco-literacy is a process of increasing understanding, knowledge, attitudes, and behavior based on ecology. Eco-literacy seeks to introduce and renew one's understanding of the importance of global ecological awareness to create a balance between society's needs and the earth's ability to sustain them (Sapanca & Etmagusti, 2012; Sartika et al, 2014). Eco-literacy is defined as the ability to understand the ecology and overcome environmental problems for the sake of the sustainability of human life (Pilgrim et al, 2007; Suryanda et al, 2019). Ecoliteracy is considered as a guideline for measuring the individuals’ ecological knowledge, ability, and willingness to use ecological standards in implementing a sustainable lifestyle (Monaghan & Curthoys, 2008) to create a balance between human needs and the sustainability of the earth that supports it (Pitman & Daniels, 2016)
