Abstract: Environmental education is not a new thought. Since the origin of humankind, all knowledge has been derived from the interaction with the nature. Environmental education or ecological education involves natural sciences, social sciences and technical sciences etc. as human society evolved and progressed, human beings tried to devise ways to make their lives more and more comfortable. This rising need for comfort has led to various detrimental effects on the environment. However, since human beings cannot cut off themselves from the environment, the imbalance that they have created is now slowly interfering with their survival and maintenance on the planet. Environmental pollution is a wreaking devastation on plant, animal and human life. The soil, minerals, water, fuel, plant and animal resources are being depleted and climate changes, desertification and floods are becoming severe. Moreover, the human population is growing faster than ever and creating more pressure on the environment than it can take.
