(Re)significando o uso consciente do papel no material impresso

Abstract

This paper addresses the need for awareness on the use of printed material in school, reporting issues related to the environment and recycling, and therefore, it highlights the reduction of use of this material. It emphasizes the importance of conscious use of natural resources and sustainability. It also deals with the possibility of introducing this theme in school with support in the Federal Constitution and the Brazilian PCN - National Curriculum Parameters. It also presents alternative pedagogical use of new technologies in the teaching-learning process and reports the involvement of other institutions in the sense of "taking care" of natural resources, more specifically, of our forests. It relates the computerized teaching tools – the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) – in education as an alternative to waste and for environmental preservation.
