ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
The term is often used to imply education within the school system,
from primary to post-secondary. However, it is sometimes used more
broadly to include all efforts to educate the public and other
audiences, including print materials, websites, media campaigns, etc.
Related disciplines include outdoor education and experiential
education.
Environmental education is a learning process that increases people’s
knowledge and awareness about the environment and associated
challenges, develops the necessary skills and expertise to address the
challenges, and fosters attitudes, motivations, and commitments to
make informed decisions and take responsible action (UNESCO,
Tbilisi Declaration, 1978).
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION Is a process by which people
develop awareness, concern and knowledge of the environmental and
learn to use this understanding to preserve, conserve and utilize the
environment in a sustainable manner for the benefit of present and
future generation.

Environmental education does not advocate a particular viewpoint or

course of action. Rather, environmental education teaches individuals
how to weigh various sides of an issue through critical thinking and it
enhances their own problem-solving and decision-making skills.

Pollution is defined as the presence of impurities or pollutant

substances in sufficient concentration levels, causing harmful
effects on human beings, animals, plant life or material resources
when exposed for a sufficient duration of time, thus reducing the
quality of life in the environment.
Pollution is the effect of undesirable changes in our surroundings
that have harmful effects on plants, animals and human beings.
Pollutants include solid, liquid or gaseous substances present in
greater than natural abundance, produce due to human activity,
which have a determined effect on our environment.
