Environmental Education and sustainable projects with solid waste reuse

Abstract

Environmental Education (EE) must be worked on in an integrated way in schools, so that its formal modality reaches through the students the non-formal and informal aspects, when they are disseminators of the experiences lived in the school. For this, it is essential that EE is not worked in a content-based way, but that it is interdisciplinary and practical, so that students can learn in a practical way and build new ways of interacting with the environment, without causing so many environmental impacts. The change in the production and disposal of solid waste is one of the most urgent issues in this context and this article portrays a concrete experience and workshop practice with these materials in a school.
