Environmental education teaches individuals how to explore environmental issues, think critically about various perspectives, and make informed decisions to improve the environment. It traces back to the 18th century with philosophers advocating education focused on nature. In the late 19th century, nature study formed the basis of early environmental education programs. Effective environmental education provides knowledge of environmental challenges, skills to address them, and fosters concern and motivation to preserve environmental quality. It enhances students' thinking and engagement while benefiting communities and encouraging healthy lifestyles. Teachers play a key role by presenting information in an interesting way so students understand the interconnectedness of environmental science with other subjects.
