Environmental Education: application of the “3R’sul” principle in solid waste from an environmental core

Abstract

At school, we have the possibility to involve environmental education in an interdisciplinary way, seeking to raise awareness in a critical and transforming way in the community, interfering in habits beyond its walls. This work presents the actions developed, throughout two years, in a technical school with high school students, from the core of integrated environmental management. The actions consist in lectures, awareness campaigns, waste sorting, vegetable garden, soap making and action in the community, also introducing aspects of the scientific methodology. Only through awareness will we be able to develop an environmental and sustainable culture, in which quality of life can prevail, guaranteeing the future for the current and next generations.
