A pilot study was conducted to determine the reliability of the research instrument and theta reliability coefficient was calculated (θ= 0.8). The finding revealed that majority of students (66.7%) had a high level of awareness. there was a positive significant relationship between students’ awareness and their average grade point, education level of their father, extent of studying books, magazine and watching TV programs regarding environment.
