2. Identify the role of schools in making people environmentally aware
3. Demonstrate student’s level of environmental awareness through actions.
Introduction:
Maybe some of you have seen posters, ads, and the like carrying the exhortation ''Go Green!'' But, what
does it mean to ''go green''? It takes a variety of forms, but essentially, going green means being mindful of the
natural environment and making economic choices that aren't harmful to the earth. For example, this might
mean purchasing a glass or ceramic water bottle instead of using disposable plastic water bottles. Plastic takes
an incredibly long time to break down, and a significant percentage of plastic makes it to the oceans, where it
kills plant and animal life. Going green might also involve using an all-natural hair-care product, instead of a can
of aerosol spray containing toxic chemicals.
