1.1.1 The Environment: The environment refers to the physical surroundings, including
the natural and built elements, that encompass living organisms and their interactions. It
encompasses the air, water, land, and ecosystems that support life on Earth. The
environment is composed of various components, such as the atmosphere, lithosphere,
hydrosphere, and biosphere, which are interconnected and influence each other. It is a
complex system that provides the necessary resources and conditions for the existence
and development of all living beings.
1.1.2 Environmental Education: Environmental education involves learning and teaching
about the environment and the interconnections between humans and nature. It aims to
enhance individuals' awareness, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values related to
environmental issues. Environmental education encompasses formal and informal
educational processes that promote environmental literacy, sustainable practices, and
responsible citizenship. It encourages individuals to critically analyze environmental
problems, develop sustainable solutions, and actively participate in environmental
stewardship.
1.1.3 The Anthropocene: The Anthropocene is a proposed geological epoch that
signifies the significant impact of human activities on Earth's ecosystems. It is
characterized by the recognition that human actions have become a dominant force
shaping the planet's physical and biological systems. The term "Anthropocene"
emphasizes the scale and magnitude of human influence on Earth, including factors
such as population growth, industrialization, urbanization, deforestation, and climate
change. The concept highlights the need for humans to recognize their role in
environmental changes and adopt sustainable practices to mitigate further negative
impacts.
