Educação ambiental

estratégias de sensibilização ao consumo sustentável nos setores administrativos de um hospital particular de Salvador-BA

Abstract

The achievements made by human beings have led them to unbearable consumption patterns, as we can see now with the collapse of ethics and humanistic values, which is clearly detectable in their daily activities. Contemporary risks explain the limits and consequences of social practices, bringing forth a new element, "reflexivity". This requires a set of actors from the educational universe, providing the engagement of the various systems of knowledge and their qualification under an interdisciplinary perspective. Educators have a strategic and decisive role in the integration of environmental education into everyday life, qualifying individuals and the community towards a critical position in the face of the social environmental crisis, having as an aim the transformation of customs and social practices and the formation of an environmental citizenship that can mobilize them to approach the issue of sustainability in its broader meaning.
