Abstract
The aim of this survey study is to find out the model of environmental ethics on the basis of pro-environmental behavior. Data were collected from 349 students at Universitas Negeri Jakarta in East Jakarta in the province of DKI Jakarta. Data were analyzed by implementing the structural equation model (SEM). Findings indicated a positive relationship between pro-environmental behavior and environmental ethics was confirmed. Recycling, eco-products, and green travel support pro-environmental behaviour. Further, respect for nature, cosmic solidarity, caring for nature, no harms, in harmony with, fairness with nature, democracy with nature, and moral integrity to nature predicted environmental ethics. It can be concluded that environmental ethics can be managed through enhancement of pro-environmental behavior leading to environmental protection.
