Context
Over the last few decades, the exploitation of our planet and environmental degradation has increased at an alarming rate. Consistent, thorough education and support of people may result in raising ecological awareness, changing everyday practices, influencing peers, and applying pressure on politicians to change governmental green policies.
We need active citizenship to prevent climate change and protect the environment. As trainers, education activists and citizens, we should be equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes to be active for the planet’s wellbeing.
When combined, people’s small actions can play a big role in protecting our planet.
Objectives
This manual is for people who want to play their role in educating other people about how they can protect our planet. The purpose is to inspire trainers and educational activists to more effectively encourage people to play their part in saving the environment; empower trainers with the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes to make citizens active for the planet; and transfer good practices and practical tools that help to shape good eco-habits amongst everyone.
