In recent years, it is palpable that the rapid advancement of technology, industrialisation, betterment in means of transport and all that we call ‘modern’ has come with an alarming cost of environmental degradation. Global warming, Ozone layer depletion, increasing population, pollutions and disruptions in weather cycle are but slight indications of ever bigger catastrophes that lay yet ahead. The complacence of mankind towards such issues is only further aggravating the alarming situation. In cognizance of the above scenario, it is imperative that we combat such issues in a way that is effective and sustainable. The failure of countries to achieve SDGs, throws light on the fact that only policies at international and national levels is not the solution to this arduous problem. The proactive efforts by the common citizens across the world are actually the need of hour. However, to ensure that such proactive involvement perpetuates and continues, it is important that the young mass especially the ones in secondary level of education be educated, sensitised and trained about environment protection. Bringing the attitude level changes in secondary school children, thus would definitely go a long way in the substance of the efforts to a better environment and ultimately to a better future. Educating and training of the young mass would make our efforts for a better environment long lasting. For such to happen, the teachers teaching at the secondary level would have to be the torch bearers for bridging this gap between abstract idea and concrete action. Ultimately, teacher’s attitude towards inclusion of environmental protection in curriculum of secondary schools of urban and rural areas has to be studied prima facie.
