Environment could be a combination of external, cultural, educational, economic, physical and social conditions that influence growth and development of an organism. Environment is a combination of all external forces that influence the lifespan, character and behaviour of all living organism. All living organisms alternatively influence the environment through their consumption and actions. Environmental awareness is the first step towards environmental conservation. It acts as an eye opener to the various environmental problems. Environmental awareness is not only about having knowledge about the environment. It is also about having the conscious ability to be responsible citizens. Environmental education (EE) is a process in which individuals gain awareness of their environment and acquire knowledge, skills, values, experience, and also the determination. Environmental degradation is the biggest problem in the 21st century. It leads to threatening the existence of people.
