Abstract

In this work, we identified, through online questionnaires, the characteristics of members of a public university in the state of Paraná in relation to attitudes towards mobility, conscious consumption and sustainability. The results showed that the main means of mobility is the car. Regarding consumption, research participants realize that there is waste in the university restaurant and the use of energy and water. Despite showing commitment to the topic of sustainability, only 20% are very interested. Therefore, it is believed that it is necessary at the university to develop actions in teaching, research and extension, which prioritize a culture of sustainability
