Abstract
Even though ecological issues are becoming more urgent nowadays, humanity still has not switched to the path of sustainable development. The objective of this article is to define whether such indicator as level of education can have a significant impact on green behavior, which implies efficient use of natural resources, recycling and green consumerism. Via principal component analysis we've proven that education may indeed have positive impact on the waste rate. However, results have turned out to be not sustainable enough, which requires further investigation.
