In this study the relation between consciousness of environmental protection and natural resource saving on daily clothing behavior, such as purchasing and wearing, was intended to clarify.<BR>For this purpose, the systematic survey was made for 1, 197 female university students at Kumamoto, Kobe and Tokyo.<BR>The results obtained are summarized as : <BR>1) When the students were at purchase of clothing, they pay keen attention to"fashionability"of clothes, including, the coordination of clothing and well-matching and they choose clothes, which have good occasion of wearing and high frequency in wearing.This behavior is consistent with environmental protection.2) Examinees had high concerns about global circumstances problems, but they did show only low concern on exhaustion of natural resources.Majority of the students consider that action against environmental protection should be firstly taken by the government and also they recognized the urgent necessity of both public and personal efforts.3) Close correlation are observed between level of consciousness of environmental protection and of natural resource saving and some items of behavior at the purchase of clothing such as (1) trial wearingbefore making purchase decision (a2), (2) cordination with other clothes already keeping (a6), (3) clothing purpose of wearing (a7), (4) not buy beyond necessity (a13), (5) buy clothes of natural fiber (a16), (6) dead-stock clothes (a21) and (7) purchase clothes one after another (a23).4) At disposal of used clothes they did not recognize clothes as valuable resource.<BR>Generally, young students have comparatively low concern about exhaustion of natural resources caused by unduly excessive consumption and, especially the students who possess dead-stock clothes-and who enjoy the current fashion by buying clothes one after another, belong to a group of lower consciousness on circumstances and resource problems.These facts suggests strongly urgent necessity of education and enlightening activity for them about recognition of clothes as valuable resources.
