We all know that education is the foundation of a healthy, stable society, but the importance of environmental education has global implications, and is the block on which our future is being built. Environmental education conferences once attended by only science departments, are now attended by a variety of educators, as we come to collectively understand the importance of environmental education. The definition of environmental education depends on the area of study, and can be applied to all. From medicine to engineering or green building classes offered at your local high school, environmental education is here to stay.
