4. ABSTRACTION
• We are very sensitive to Nature.
• In coming into touch with Nature, we develop
what is called, the planet consciousness.
• Subjects like science, geography, and social
studies area in both primary and secondary
amply provide knowledge about the planet.
• Peace education helps internalization of such
knowledge, through bringing in the effective
learning dimension.

for the last 6 million years.
• The striking facts about the ancient
civilizations was that they were never posed
threats to the earth.
• Within the short existence of the modern
civilization for the last 27 decades, (say
from 1830 upto the present) the earth has
been threathened with damage, pollution, and
destruction as never before.

OVER FISHING AIR POLLUTION
People accept the need to stop all the destruction.
The damaging is continuing as ever year-by-year.
Educationally, raising awareness in children should
be reinforced through providing an opportunity to get
into action.
We should not forget the fact that children are
capable of changing the world in their own ways.

8. HOW TO CARE FOR OUR PLANET
HOW TO CARE FOR OUR PLANET
Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cut
down on what you throw away.
Follow the three "R's" to conserve
natural resources and landfill space.
Volunteer for cleanups in your
community. You can get involved in
protecting your watershed, too.

9. Educate. When you further your own education, you
can help others understand the importance and value
of our natural resources.
Conserve water. The less water you use, the less
runoff and wastewater that eventually end up in the
Shop wisely. Buy less plastic and bring a reusable
shopping bag.
Use long-lasting light bulbs. Energy efficient light
bulbs reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also flip the
light switch off when you leave the room!

10. Plant a tree. Trees provide food
and oxygen. They help save
energy, clean the air, and help
combat climate change.
Don't send chemicals into our
waterways. Choose non-toxic
chemicals in the home and office.
Bike more. Drive less.
