On this subject, several initiatives have been undertaken by West African countries, such as Togo, in order to change behaviors that are harmful to the balance of the environment. In spite of the efforts made by the latter, the report is bitter, because within the schools of the Kozah 2 Commune located in the prefecture of Kara, it is noted behaviors contrary to the environmental living together, in particular the throw of plastic bags in the school yard, in and behind the classrooms as well as the defecation out of the toilets, the non-use of dustbins when they exist, etc. The objective of this research is to analyze the influence of family rules on the eco-citizen behaviors of students in schools. This research used a mixed-method approach combining quantitative and qualitative methods. A questionnaire was administered to 264 students and an interview guide was administered to 35 people (school principals, supervisors and teachers). The results reveal that family rules and parents’ attitudes influence the eco-citizen behaviors of students in the commune of Kozah 2.
