Educação ambiental: possibilidade no controle de impactos ambientais e conservação do solo

Abstract

Human activities have altered the landscape and the chemical composition of soil, water and air, causing changes in the planet´s climate. Certainly, due to global climate change, there will be physical changes, chemical and biological composition of the soil and in its coverage. The concern with these changes in climate and soil can be remedied and even prevented through environmental education projects that affect the school community and be an influence in society. In this work, we intend to develop the awareness of high school students, course and school community of the State Institute of Sapiranga, school located in the city of Sapiranga, RS, promoting reflection about the environmental aspects, both climate change and changes in soil . Thus, using one of the area located in the schoolyard, it is possible to observe the impacts caused by deforestation, erosion and practices exercised by the neighborhood as growing food and timber cutting. However, we seek to reverse some points and create alternatives that make the society in general think about environmental issues, the changes that have been caused in the ecosystem and can be decreased, improving environmental education projects and generating knowledge about the sources of heating global deforestation, garbage accumulation, depletion and loss of soil by erosion.
