Severe air pollution can not only shorten the lifespan of a person; it can outright kill them. Air pollution is only a subset of issues we are facing about our environment. This paper focuses on the problem of raising environmental awareness in the context of environmental studies. There are major threats to the environment such as emission of greenhouse gases, deforestation, pollution, toxic waste disposal etc. It has become increasingly important to educate the populace, create awareness and come up with strategies to mitigate the harmful effects on our environment. Environmental education has an important part in developing and understanding of concepts that underpin environmental issues, leading potentially to pro-environmental behavior. This paper discusses the different types of environmental issues and difficulties that exist. It talks about various acts and laws that have been passed and their impacts on solving environmental issues. It also talks about the importance of education in solving environmental problems
