Environmental Education must be understood as an educational process that must start at the base, and the participation and involvement of all are of paramount importance, family, school and community. Understanding that one should not only train professionals for the labor market, but citizens who are concerned with the environment where they live, so that they become transforming agents of the reality in which they are inserted.
