Due to the current problems that affect the environment, such as pollution or global warming, the collaboration of all for the preservation and care of the planet is increasingly important. It is the work of families and teachers to teach children to respect and care for their natural environment from a young age. The contact with nature and the games and activities related to it will be the key to learn these values.
Knowledge: It is important for children to know that the environment must be protected and what they can do to help.
Recycling: Both at home and at school the separation of waste in a correct way[2] should be promoted. This will create a habit that children will continue through all their life.
Reuse: Children must be taught to take advantage of everything possible that will end up in the rubbish.
Cleaning: In addition to teaching them about recycling and reuse, it is essential that they learn not to pollute their environment.
Contact with nature: The contact with nature is always beneficial for children and helps to appreciate the environment and love nature, respecting their cycles of fauna and flora. There are many activities that can be done on regard to this and can be developed both at school and as a family.
Savings: Control of the use of water and energy is essential.
Imitation: It is important that adults, both at school and at home, do the same, so that they can become references for children and young people.
