The results revealed that in holistic view of LCA knowledge was at moderate level and environmental education, and environmental conservation behavior were at more levels. Additionally, independent variables of LCA knowledge, and environmental education affecting dependent variable of environmental conservation behavior of undergraduate students with 57.70 percent of power prediction (Adjusted R² = 0.577).
