Abstract: The issue of sustainability is the primary challenge of the 21st century, as humanity has reached a critical juncture in which natural resources are depleting at an alarming rate. Concern exists regarding the causes of environmental crises, including global warming, ozone depletion, the depletion of natural resources, the destruction of ecosystems, and carbon emissions. The current situation necessitates strong leadership and significant global changes, which challenge traditional ideas, values, and approaches. As such, the current study evaluates the environmental sustainability behaviours of students residing in the Cape Coast Technical University hostel. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected from 100 student residents of the school’s hostel facility in Cape Coast, one of the historical educational towns in the Central region of Ghana. The Shapiro-Wilk method was employed to evaluate the data, and an ANOVA test was conducted to investigate the mean differences and ascertain the impact of the respondents’ demographic characteristics on their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding environmental sustainability. This study shows the absence of any association between the demographic features of the respondents and their high level of knowledge, good attitudes, and environmentally friendly actions.
