University students around the world form a huge segment of ICT users. They are part of the group responsible for the 2% global carbon emission attributed to computing activities . In today’s higher education context, virtually every aspect of learning and scholarship is influenced or shaped by ICT, and students will spend most of their adult lives in a technology-driven world. As such, they must be equipped with the knowledge to use ICT effectively, as well as to use it in responsible and eco-friendly ways. It must be emphasized that ICT literacy should be complemented with environmental literacy in relation to computer use. Much research informs us about the development of students’ ICT literacy over the years how they have moved from being digital immigrants to digital natives , but there is little information available to tell us about their environmental literacy in relation to ICT use. This study, therefore, was an attempt to fill this gap in the literature by looking into the state of students’ knowledge about the relationship between their computer use and its resulting impact on the environment.
