This study was conducted to describe students' opinion of energy conservation and environmental issues during campus activities. It was a descriptive quantitative research using survey method. The subjects were 26 students of the first, second, and third-year students of Natural Science Department of Unesa. These students are pre-service teachers for senior high school level. The result shows that 43.75% students throw trash in different bins based on the material, 25% students take trash that is not thrown properly in campus area, and only 6.25% students clean their classroom after the class is over. This showed that their awareness of environmental condition is still low. Nevertheless, some students participated in weekly eco-campus activities. However, most of them join it involuntarily. The results also showed that they conserve the energy by turning-on lamp and air conditioner when it is needed only. It means that they know that they have to conserve although only some of students who doing that activities. In conclusion, some students are already aware about their environment and how to conserve the energy. So, they need more activities to enhance their awareness of environmental issues during campus activities, both in academic activities and non-academic activities. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
