Environment & Education - Both Are Needed For Global Development

Environment & Education - Both Are Needed For Global Development

( by Mehak Dutta )

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world”

We are living in 2020 and have come a very long way in technology, but we still fail to educate people about the urgent need to save the environment. The judicial cutting of trees and forest in last few years has resulted in so much of curious around the globe. Various animal species are endangered. And we need to provide the education for conserving the nature to not only children but to the grown ones as well.

Environment education (EE) does not only include educating people about the nature but also the optimum and efficient use of natural resources that are available to us. Environmental education (EE) interfaces us to our general surroundings, showing us both characteristic and constructed conditions. EE brings issues to light of issues affecting nature whereupon we as a whole depend, just as moves we can make to improve and continue it.

Regardless of whether we carry nature into the home room, take understudies outside to learn, or discover off the cuff workable minutes on a nature stroll with our families, EE has numerous advantages for youth, educators, schools, and communities.

Various benefits of ENVIRONMENT EDUCATION:

1. Students and teachers are empowered

2. Helps in spreading more awareness

3. Healthy lifestyle is encouraged

4. Education can reduce vulnerability to climate change

5. Slows population growth

Making a move to secure the planet to control the impacts of environmental change and expend mindfully isn't generally a characteristic nature. Individuals should be educated about the environmental difficulties the world is confronting and about their impact on them. We really need to give people a wakeup call and encourage them to do whatever they could to help keeping the environment healthy.

We have often heard and are taught in our schools how non-renewable resources are important, and we should be consuming them judicially but are we really doing it? Is just bookish knowledge helping people to understand that water should not be wasted or plastic should not be used by is that really helping? Are people following it by all their heart?

There is not so much to do when it comes to conserving and developing it into what it deserves to be. Just by not using plastic and boycotting polythene bags would be a great share for a layman. Education can bring so much change within us that it could completely help change someone's perspective. The way things are seen could be changed and one's life could be better. It is important to give education to the students because their minds are developing, and they could grab the most of it, even could give us the new ideas as they are the most creative of all.

As it turns out to be progressively clear how much human activity has affected environmental degradation and climate change, particularly through the arrival of ozone depleting substances, consideration must go to education and the need to tap its potential. We are on the whole learners with regard to the environment and better approaches to secure it and the planet we occupy. In this sense, the idea of deep-rooted learning is particularly adept.

This pattern will be additionally upheld by the new Sustainable Development Agenda, wherein instruction for worldwide citizenship and maintainable fates is expressly organized in one of the new education targets. But then we as a whole realize that it's hard to change mentalities and practices for the time being. Finishing education courses, both formal and non-formal, sets aside some effort to finish.

The global development will require a great leadership and a strong education system. So that we could hold a pace in making citizens learn about the urgent need of it and also help the conservatives and the people working day and night to make people understand how important non-renewable resources are and not only non-renewable but also all the of the environment plays a crucial role in fulfilling our needs and how we should take stand to fulfil mother nature's needs as well by educating people the repercussions we could face in near future. 

“It's not yours, nor mine; ITS OURS.
