Abstract: This research article examines the impact of economic, health, environmental, and socialeconomic factors on diverse forms of pro-environmental consumption: energy conservation, water
conservation, and recycling. Primary data concerning these variables were collected from 430 individuals using a structured questionnaire following the cluster sampling methodology. Results indicate
that one unit increase in environmental, economic, and health concerns improve pro-environment
behavior by 52, 64, and 25 units, respectively. In contrast, a 1 unit increase in income deteriorates
pro-environment behavior by 0.01 units. Education, age, gender, and owning a home have an insignificant impact on pro-environmental habits. The model explains a 52% variation in pro-environmental
habits. The study recommends that effective electronic and social media campaigns increase environmental, economic, and health concerns and improve green behavior. More courses on environmental
sustainability in schools and universities can effectively increase ecological knowledge and concerns
