We know that the world of today is suffering from the problem of environmental degradation. Some of these problems are at the global level while some are at the regional level. At the global level the problems are: global warming, depletion of ozone layer in the stratosphere, acid rain, deforestation, loss of bio diversity etc. On the other hand, regional level problems include: soil erosion, soil pollution, ground water depletion, water pollution, solid waste pollution, noise pollution etc. All these problems are the result of human activities. Whatever wrong has been done to the environmental needs to be rectified. To protect and manage the environment it is essential to have a sound environmental education (EE) system.
