Nature is capable of providing man with everything that he needs not only for self-sustenance, but also for making his life fully comfortable. However mans desire for joy and comforts has led him to exploit natures free goods to the extent of reducing its natural capacities for self stabilization. Today we are facing severe environmental crisis which is not limited to any particular country or region; it is global. Survival of all living species including humans has increasingly become very difficult as land water and air has become polluted as never before. The current marker of contemporary world scenario i.e. globalization, industrialization, liberalization and consumerization has eroded the delicate balance between human activity and nature. Time has come to ensure that the concepts of education for sustainability in the broadest sense are discussed and woven into a framework upon which current and future education policies should based. The time is right to engage in a dynamic process to educate children and all citizens about the environmental realities of today’s world. We must re-educate ourselves to treat the environment with greater caution and control and it is this realization that gives environmental education a place of prime importance.
