The sample included 290 female heads of household from Menoufia and Qalyoubia governorates,. After collecting the data, it was unpacked, categorized, tabulated, and statistically analyzed using the SPSS program.
The results showed a positive statistically significant correlation between female heads of households' awareness of environmental responsibility in their axes and green consumption behavior for them with its dimensions at a significance level of 0.01, and the total awareness of environmental responsibility and environmental knowledge explains 52% of the variance in the total green consumption behavior and 46% for green consumer practices.
