Environmental education as a tool to mitigate environmental impact

Environmental education serves as a process through which we can obtain answers to carry out the procedures and apply the methodology that give answers to environmental problems, which occur in different ecosystems worldwide, with environmental education can achieve that the pollution processes that have become irreversible due to the depletion of natural resources, which are considered finite, including fresh water, forests due to excessive logging, ie a constant attack on the biosphere, a product of human activities and consumerism.

All these environmental problems that occur on the planet due to the reasons highlighted and many other existing reasons, the planet is in eminent danger as well as the people who live in it, one of the possible methodologies that can begin to apply is environmental education, this education is based on informing and guiding the new generations about the irreversible but controllable environmental damage that exists on the planet, education that can begin to impart from the most basic levels of education, encouraging the classification of waste, reuse of the same to avoid further contamination.

There are many other methodologies applied in education which can encourage people to reuse materials, currently in Venezuela this is being done constantly, some to collaborate with the environment and others can be said that by ingenuity or necessity, the reasons may be diverse but, are constantly reusing waste materials, using for the realization of various crafts or ornaments of their homes, workplaces or places of study.

Encouraging the new generation from the beginning of their education, to always take into consideration the environmental damage that exists and that we cannot allow to worsen, they will have a new ecological awareness, in addition we must encourage the entire population to improve the quality of the environment or the next generations will not have a place to live, to these extremes has reached the current pollution, as well as the lack of plants that consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen, this is due to excessive logging by people who take advantage of this environment.

Environmental education every day takes more strength and relevance to be applied at all levels of education, countries like China due to the great pollution that their country had to implement drastic measures to curb the level of pollution, all these measures begin with environmental education and recycling of waste and reuse of the same, avoiding dumping waste in fresh water is the scarcest natural resources on the planet and most needed, I close by saying that education always begins at home, and we must be the example for our community and thus achieve an improvement.
