formal education procedures all play a role in environmental education.
Problem-solving: Environmental education entails assisting students in
the development of appropriate cognitive methods for the effective
resolution of complicated environmental issues.
It should employ hands-on experiences and activities: Environmental
education necessitates the use of real-life scenarios in which knowledge
is gained via exploration of real-life experiences and activities that create
a profound regard and love for the natural world.
It should be multi-level: It should be taught in all grades, from
nursery through high school and beyond.
Environmental themes such as biodiversity, limiting factors, carrying
capacity, and sustainability should all be included.
It involves values clarification: It should include an examination of one's
own personal assumptions, values, and feelings about oneself and
society, as well as a review of one's own and society's relationship to the
natural environment.

resources.

recycling company. The money from this can be used for an eco-project
in school. Learners can also reuse bottles or other items, this I also
considered recycling. Bottles, caps, squashed paper and any other item
they think can be used for an arts and crafts project should be used. The
