Abstract

The great challenge of the environmental issue is to approach questions in a complete way, avoiding focus on isolated points, even though on the relevant ones. The practice of environmental education in school routines shows alternatives for the involvement of all the school community with continuous actions and not isolated ones. There are possibilities for an interdisciplinary environmental education aiming to problematize the understanding, to show that the educator plays a fundamental role in this new teaching perspective, creating, recreating, reinventing, doing what one does not know what to do, letting oneself learn with everybody’s participation. It is known that the everyday actions are the ones that bring great changes. This work brings a reflection on the environmental education in school and the ethics of care. The main objective was to develop educational actions with students of the 3rd year of the Municipal Elementary School Zenir Aita, of Santa Maria, RS, about questions involving the environment through lectures, leaflets, walks around the school for a landscape reading, interviews with the school principal, the teachers and workers. The actions developed were: garbage in the correct place, building of a worm farm, human clock - built with medicinal plants, use of banana peels to make cakes. Then, it was observed that the school offers a favorable environment for the environmental education to be continuously developed involving all school disciplines, in the construction of knowledge.
