11. ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
Is a process by which people develop
awareness, concern and knowledge of the
environment and learn to use this
understanding to preserve, conserve and utilize
the environment in a sustainable manner for the
benefit of present and future generations.
12. It entails the will to take personal
initiatives and social participation to achieve
sustainability.
It is intended for all types of learners,
students, out-of-school youth, community
leaders, policy makers and the general public
to develop appropriate environmental-
related skills.
13. Goals and Aims of
Environmental Education
The main goal is to develop
concern and awareness among world
population about the total environment
and its associated problems.
14. 1. To improve the quality of environment.
2. To create awareness among the people
on environmental problems and
conversations.
3. To create an atmosphere so that people
participate in decision-making and
develop the capabilities to evaluate the
developmental programs.
THE GOALS:
15. The OBJECTIVES of environmental
educational are classified as follows:
AWARENESS
OBJECTIVES
16. 1. Awareness
-Acquire an awareness of and sensitivity to
the total environment and its allied problems.
2. Knowledge
-Gain a variety of experiences and acquire
a basic understanding of the environment and
its associated problems.
17. 3. Attitudes
– acquire a set of values and feeling of
concern for the environment and the motivation
for actively participating in environmental
improvement and protection.
4. Skills
– acquire skills for identifying and solving
environmental problems.
18. 5. Participation
- to provide social groups and
individuals with an opportunity to be
actively involved at all levels working
towards the resolution of
environmental problems.
19. Importance of Environmental
Education
1. Increases student engagement in science.
2. Improves student achievement in core
subject areas.
3. Provides critical tools for a 21st century
workface.
4. Helps address “nature deficit disorder.”
20. MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL
ISSUES AND CONCERNS
There are so many aspects of the
environment which are being affected
today.
Problems with over population,
deforestation and with many different
things that ultimately lead to the
devastation of the natural environment
21. and to concerns that have impact
on all people living on this planet.
The Environmental Protection
Agency has broke down these
concerns into four major areas
namely water, air, waste, land and
climate change.
27. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
AND CONCERNS
CAUSES EFFECTS
1.WATER POLLUTION
1. Dumping industrial
wastes into the
nearby sources of
water.
2. Improper disposal of
human and animal
wastes.
3. Fertilizers, pesticides
used in agriculture.
4. Pathogens, sediments
and chemical
pollutants.
1. Damage to the food
chain.
2. Diseases can be
spread through
polluted water.
3. Acid rain.
4. Alteration of the over
all chemistry of
water.
5. Contaminated
Marine food sources.
6. Altered water
temperatures which
can kill the marine
life.
28. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
AND CONCERNS
CAUSES EFFECTS
2. AIR POLLUTION
1. Burning of fossil
fuel.
2. Increased level of
carbon dioxide in
the air.
3. Car exhausts and
other emissions
(SMOG).
4. Released extra dust
and sand into the air
due to
desertification of
wilderness.
1. Acid rain.
2. Health problems to
human beings i. e.
Respiratory
disorders, cancer
etc.
3. Global Warming.
29. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
AND CONCERNS
CAUSES EFFECTS
3. WATER AND LAND
POLLUTION
5. CFCs used in
refrigerants and aerosol
propellants.
6. Increased road and
air traffic.
1. Degenerative
actions i.e.
deforestation,
mining, inadequate
waste treatment.
2. Misuse of land i.e .
Desertification, land
conversion, felling
of trees to clear land
1. Leads to loss of
forest cover of the
earth.
2. Destruction of
natural habitat of
species leading to
their extinction.
30. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
AND CONCERNS
CAUSES EFFECTS
4. CLIMATE CHANGE
for agriculture.
3. Soil pollution caused
by overuse of chemical
fertilizers and
pesticides.
4. Land conversion.
5. Urbanization,
improper waste
disposal, E- wastes,
industrial activities,
nuclear research etc.
1. Global warming due
to “greenhouse effect.”
3. Bio magnification
whereby certain non-
biodegradable
substances accumulate
in the food chain
affecting the food
pyramid.
4. Effects of diversity
that brings about
disruption of the
balance or nature.
5. Disease, health
problems.
1. Heat waves
31. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
AND CONCERNS
CAUSES EFFECTS
2. Increased word
population.
3. Burning of fossil
fuels.
2. Rising temperature
3. Worsened air
pollution
4. Increased SMOG
5. Wildfire smoke and
pollution.
6. Drought, floods
7. Spread of epidemic
diseases.
8. Worsened
waterborne illnesses,
infectious diseases.
32. ENVIRONMENTAL PRINCIPLES
1. NATURES KNOWS BEST
Nature
has the ability
to regulate,
perpetuate and
maintain its
balance and
keep both
living and non-
living
components
stable.
33. However, when humans interrupt and
alter these abilities, imbalance happens and
ecological backlash occurs. In fact, natural
calamities are mechanisms used by the
environment to keep itself from balance.
34. 2. ALL FORMS OF LIFE ARE EQUALLY
IMPORTANT All living
organisms have the
inherent right to
exist. All of them
play an important
role that is evident
in the food chain.
Diversity is the
characteristic of
nature and the
basis of ecological
stability.
36. 4. Everything Changes
Seasons help produce
different flowers, fruits,
vegetables and other crops.
Every year in animals,
changes can be seen in the
transformation of
caterpillar to butterflies,
maggots to fly. These
changes produce new life
forms that are essential in
maintaining the balance in
nature.
37. 5. Everything must go somewhere.
This Law reminds us
that the law of
Conservation of Energy of
matter.
Since everything that
we see around us is
“matter” then we should
know that nothing here on
earth disappears or simply
goes away.
38. 6. Ours is a finite earth.
This law tells us
that there are limits
to the population
that an area can
support to prevent
exhaustion of
resources, limits to
the amount of yield
that an area can
produce at a
particular time to
maintain its ability
to sustain life.
39. 7. Nature is beautiful and we are stewards of
God’s creation.
Humans are barely
barrowers of the Earth
resources. As they are
the only ones gifted
with the capacity to
make use of their
intellect, they have
also been given the
responsibility to
conserve and protect
nature which is their
source of existence
and sustenance.
40. COMPONENTS OF
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
Environment is the aggregate of all
conditions that influence the life of an
individual or population.
Each individual is responsible for
maintaining environmental quality.
