Environmental Education

Environmental Education promotes environmental literacy and the development of the skills needed for life-long learning. 

Environmental Education refers to education efforts that increase public awareness, concern and knowledge about environmental issues and provides the critical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making skills needed to make informed and responsible decisions about the environment in all its complexity. 

Environmental Education promotes interdisciplinary integration of subject matter, problem- and issues-based learning experiences and both cooperative and independent learning opportunities.
