Basic Environmental Education

Environmental education refers to organized efforts to teach about how natural environments function and, particularly, how human beings can manage their behaviour and ecosystems in order to live sustainably. Environmental education increases public awareness and knowledge of environmental issues and challenges. Teaching about the natural and built environment provides a real-world context for learning by linking the classroom to the student’s community. This book is an effort to provide the readers a simple and easy to understand text material to literate them towards their environment. Environmentally literate students become citizens who are able to weigh various sides of an environmental issue and make responsible decisions as individuals and as members of their community. It is hoped that the book will increases public awareness and knowledge of environmental issues and challenges.
