Challenge

Lack of environmental awareness refers to the lack of knowledge and awareness of the importance of caring for the environment and natural resources. This lack of awareness can manifest itself in everyday actions such as the misuse of natural resources, the generation of waste without considering its impact on the environment, air and water pollution, among others. This lack of environmental awareness affects the environment in various ways, since human actions have a direct impact on nature.

Solution

To foster greater environmental awareness among the population, it is necessary to promote environmental education from an early age, both at school and in the family. People must understand that our daily actions have a direct impact on the environment and on the quality of life of all the species that inhabit the planet. It is also important to encourage the responsible use of natural resources, such as water and energy, through awareness campaigns and energy efficiency programs in homes.

Long-Term Impact

To create awareness by making children and young people more sensitive to the environment and its problems. To generate knowledge in people for the basic understanding of the environment as a whole, of the problems associated with it and of the effect that humanity has on it. To provide the necessary evaluation skills to be able to assess the environmental education measures and programs to be established according to ecological, political, aesthetic, social and educational factors.
