Abstract: 
The study of the environment involves a certain natural phenomenon and the interactions that exist between man and his environment. Environmental Education, as a culture of sustainable development, with the aim of ensuring that resources are sufficient for the present and future generation. Anthropic activities, both individual and collective, have affected the environment. Advances in technology have brought advantages to man, generating goods and services to improve the quality of life and making life easier. However, collective actions by industry have contributed to a greater negative impact on the environment. Therefore, various strategies have been proposed to mitigate the damage caused, such as: generating educational programs to promote changes in values ​​and attitudes in society about the environment, generating cleaner productions, environmental reviews, eco-balances, impact assessment, among others; educational institutions have focused on environmental education, with the purpose of establishing a culture of sustainable development as a strategy for social change.
