Environmental education has to be combined in all aspect since it is good to start to form our world view and many of our habits. Environmental education at school should be taught even to our youngest students. They begin to understand how their individual actions can save the environment. Even young children can learn to take personal responsibility for the preservation and restoration of our environment.
Of course, toddler neither is nor suggested to have depth discussion about global warming and how the emissions of our cars contribute to it. That will be too difficult for them to understand. Therefore, environment education for them should be about how to turn off the water while brushing their teeth, pick up litter that they might have dropped, and even to pick up other litter. They can learn to appreciate and protect the environment more fully by simple activities. Most teachers will combine environmental education into his or her plan.

The spirit of loving environment is growing higher nowadays. It is not only for adults but also for kids especially those who live in big city, or even suburbs. As parents, you may do many things with your kids or even with the all people surround you. Some activities will reconnect you with nature and our environment.
It can begin with hiking on the weekend. This activity will take your kids back to nature. Moreover, you can suggest them to pick out a favorite tree in a park or forest and adopt it. Your child will take on the role of being the tree’s caretaker. Do bark rubbings with crayons and paper; leaf collection and pressing in the fall; and look for flowers and fruit in the summer. Each year, take pictures of your child standing beside the tree.
