Environmental Education is an educational branch that aims at the transmission of values, the creation of knowledge and its dissemination, creation of knowledge and dissemination of the same, can contribute greatly to the change attitudes, behaviours and the construction of a more conscious and participative society participative in environmental issues, particularly those that improve the management of environmental sanitation.
