The study adopts a quantitative approach based on surveys administered to students, faculty, and administrative staff at the National University of Comahue, particularly within the Faculty of Economics and Administration. Its aim is to identify consumption habits, levels of environmental awareness, and willingness to change. The results reveal a high level of concern about the environmental impact of plastics and a positive attitude toward adopting sustainable practices, although structural barriers—such as the lack of adequate infrastructure and the persistence of ingrained habits—remain. It is concluded that effectively reducing single-use plastics requires coordination among environmental education, institutional policies, and material resources that facilitate everyday sustainable actions. This research contributes to the development of strategies applicable in university contexts seeking to advance toward an environmentally responsible culture and more sustainable resource management.

A lo largo del cursado, los estudiantes llevaron adelante proyectos de investigación–servicio en los que articularon sus saberes de inglés con los contenidos propios de sus carreras y con la resolución de problemáticas reales de la comunidad. El proceso incluyó la lectura y el análisis de textos académicos en inglés para la elaboración del marco teórico, la selección de un problema relevante, el diseño e implementación de una metodología de investigación, y la comparación de resultados con los aportes de autores especializados. Cada proyecto culminó con la redacción de un informe final en formato de paper, presentado en español e inglés, siguiendo una plantilla estandarizada. Los autores
