Education uses the same terms one would find in discussing our environment. Each generation is the caretaker and guardian of our planet for the next generation. As educators and parents, we are responsible for inculcating an environmental consciousness which respects and preserves our Earth and its precious resources.
Many students are unaware of the waste disposal problem in our country.
They dispose of the trash. A truck comes along, collects it and takes it away. Marketing and advertising have changed our buying habits. We use disposable razors, disposable diapers, disposable bottles, etc. In turn, this has conditioned us to use a product once and then get rid of it.
