The society nowadays requires a conscious citizen, participatory and responsible in their way of life, because their way of life irresponsible and unbridled consumption has caused the unsustainability of the planet. Given this is to put education as a training tool of this citizen. For this is a Key and critical environmental education sector. We believe that education is a form of social transformation, not just an instrument for environmental protection and citizenship. Thus, the ecological awareness is connected to the conservation of the environment, creating new principles, values and concepts for a new rationality, providing a knowledge cautious, questioning and problematized the scientific paradigms based on what was set to modern civilization. Indeed, it is possible to understand the Environmental Education as a process of building social values, knowledge and attitudes directed to the conservation of the environment by the community in the course of history. This paper discusses how the research was developed at the School State Basic Dr. Paulo Devanier Lauda, whose purpose was to verify the existence of shares in Environmental Education Project Political Pedagogical the school. It was that the Environmental Education is not included in the curriculum of the school, and teachers of the school do not have educational training capable of performing work on a interdisciplinar.Os students are deprived of knowledge on the environmental issue, but are receptive to different methodologies, and are open to discuss issues of the present in relation to Environmental Education.
