The research, a case study developed through analysis of survey questionnaires applied to the faculty of a school of municipal schools, the municipality of Sobradinho, RS, which was aimed at understanding the importance of environmental education and its relevance for each subject search. It was observed that the theme Environmental Education is worked by teachers in an interdisciplinary and cross-sectional shape with the curriculum. Most teachers works the theme of Environmental Education in their classrooms interdisciplinary and integrated into the school curriculum. It was found that the school participates in various environmental projects in partnership with the Municipal Secretary of Education and other agencies linked to the Environment area, but it is noteworthy that no project developed was proposed by the school itself. We confim that the environmental issue is addressed in classrooms and yet the environmental problems of today has only increased , we urgently need to rethink what needs to be done so that environmental consciousness is in every citizen , perhaps the way actions and discussions are being offered in schools and society need to be rethought , because while all do not realize the severity of the problem will continue to have many projects and isolated actions of environmental consciousness without much success and results.
