ENVIRONMENT IN
ISOLATION IS A DEAD DUCK
 Environment education has for long been limited to a
narrow focus on nature and wildlife, topics on which a vast amount of literature already
exists. The Environment Education Unit (EEU) at CSE was launched to initiate ecological
literacy.
The EEU targets the future inheritors of this earth and tomorrow's planners and
administrators. It tries to familiarise them with the link between the degrading
environment and poverty. The unit aims to come up with quality resource material and
programmes for school, college and university students as well as environment educators
and parents to bring about awareness about our environment. |

The
Gobar Times Green Schools Award will mark the final stage of the
"Environmental literature being generated
for school children is, with some exceptions, in the genre of nature education. It is very
important to expose young children to the beauties and wonders of nature. But as they grow
older, it is important they begin to understand how human beings and human societies
interact with their environment for their survival and their growth, how these human
interactions become a part of a society's culture, and why it is important to rationalise
our relationship with our environment."
