Children and young people are the main protagonists of the future of the Earth, so since childhood they must learn to care for nature. Schools have a very important role in this, as do families and the old people, since children also learn through example and experience. Therefore, their family and personal environment is as relevant as the school environment.
Once children begin to be more aware of what is around them, it is important to teach them to respect nature as a way to teach them to value their environment, since they have to learn that the Earth is everyone's home.
The conservation of the planet depends on how human beings behave.
The ethical and social principles that are learned in families and schools are strongly rooted in children. Caring for the environment should be part of the daily life of the family and schools. This learning is transmitted from one generation to another.
It is also important to care for plants, for a child it is fascinating to plant a seed and admire how it grows and develops. So children learn the cycle of life and begin to naturalize that concept. The child can take care of his own plant. Fieldtrips with the school puts the child in contact with nature and helps them to learn different types of plants and give them their value, since they are part of the environment. Most children love animals and teach them animals that are in danger of extinction.
Create awareness of their existence and of the actions that can be taken to preserve them. When teaching to respect nature, it is necessary to include the conservation of water sources. An initial idea is to teach you how to use them and avoid throwing waste in rivers, seas and lakes. Outdoor school excursions or camps are an excellent way to interact with nature. On these walks children can have contact with animals, plants and water. Besides being fun, it results in learning. Children should be taught to throw garbage. Recycling is a habit that must be instilled from childhood. Children can separate waste and help choose how to reuse it. Recycling can also be a game, since children can build toys with recycled materials at school. They also encourage the habit of walking short distances, as this also reduces the pollution caused by cars. Each action that is taken adds up in the formation of the personality of the child.
