Sustainable living is the awareness of utilising the earth’s natural resources wisely to meet the needs of future generations. Resources are limited regarding the effect of age towards living a sustainable life. This research investigated the influence of age on perceptions of 92 international students towards sustainable living in New Zealand. Quantitative results revealed a negative correlation between students’ perception towards sustainability and an increase in age.
