Issues about climate change and its mitigation are crucial around the world. Universities play a vital role in addressing climate change by educating students on protecting and preserving the environment. Literary works and stories about the environment are texts to educate students in environmental care. This study explored students’ attitudes toward caring for the environment through digital short stories. A mixed method with an explanatory sequential design was used in the study. Questionnaires were used as data collection instruments. The sample of this research is students at the Indonesian language and literature study program Universitas Negeri Makassar, Indonesia (N=60). The research results show that students acquire constructive mindsets toward environmental care from the digital short stories presented to them, particularly concerning the negative impacts of deforestation, as indicated by their support for tree planting and replanting. The findings of this study implied that using digital environmental short stories inspires the establishment of attitudes that aid in mitigating climate change.
