Abstract This paper presents and confirms the suspicion that there is a disruption in environmental education and environmentally responsible behaviors. Children are well aware of the behaviors and values considered environmentally friendly. However, there is a statistically significant decrease in the scores during adolescence. Scores recover in the College sample but they fail to reach children's scores. This has to do more with specific characteristics of adolescence and social context than with environmental education. A questionnaire built ad hoc was applied to a sample of 2037 persons between 9 and 35 years old. It should be noted, however, that the low scores of teenagers are also notably high in the range of the used scale.

Keywords : environmental education; sustainability; childhood; youth; university with nature.
