Abstract

The effects of global warming caused by environmental damage caused by people's various activities are felt more tangibly from day to day. Global warming, which threatens the future of the world by disrupting the ecosystem balance, is a phenomenon in which all the political and economic interests must be taken into consideration by all countries and all measures must be taken. In this sense, many countries today apply various tax and financial reforms to prevent environmental pollution. The aim of the study is to investigate how students approach environmental taxation practices by increasing their awareness of environmental pollution, with the assumption that university students who will shed light on future generations and have a certain academic background will be more aware of this issue. The experimental group of the survey consists of 356 students who are studying in 4 different sections of Ordu University Social Sciences Vocational School in spring semester of 2017-2018 education and training. According to the results of the survey, most of the students are disturbed by the environmental pollution and the unconsciousness of the people. Students participating in the study want environmental taxes to be used only in solving environmental problems. In addition, students attach great importance to sharing the use of income from environmental taxes in a transparent manner.
