This article analyzes the influence of education on the sustainable behavior of the inhabitants of the municipality of Sabaneta. Using data from the 2018 Citizen Perception Survey on Quality of Life, a probit model is used to analyze the effects of education considering sociodemographic characteristics. The results show better environmental behavior as schooling increases, although there are significative differences between individuals: it is more favorable among people under 55 years of age and rural dwellers than among members of their control groups. These results are of interest for educational initiatives aimed at improving attitudes towards the environment.
