By using an online survey with purposive sampling method, 267 responses have been collected and analysed by SEM PLS approach through SmartPLS software. This study founds that while 1) peer communication has a non-significant correlation to green purchase intention, 2) green advertisement and 3) eWOM in social media significantly and positively influence the consumer’s green purchase intention.
