People can learn about environmental issues, find solutions, and take action to safeguard the
environment through the process of environmental education. As a result, people are better informed
about environmental challenges and better able to make informed decisions.
Environmental education focuses on characteristics of behaviour more closely related to how people
interact with their environment physically and biologically and how well they can understand this
relationship.
