The use of natural resources by man has caused intense degradation of the environment andtherefore society’s concern about environmental problems, so changing habits is somethingnecessary. In this context, environmental education helps to make these changes possible. Morethan ever, new technologies are getting space in our homes, offices, and schools. In this sense,seeking to use these technologies as a teaching resource, this paper had the main goal of gettingstudents into contact with Google Earth satellite’s images in order to help them to understandenvironmental problems related to Vacacaí-mirim hydrographic sub-basin. Environmentaleducation as education in a general sense needs to dynamic, because of that, thinking aboutinnovative teaching methodologies as well as innovative educational materials are essential. Thisresearch was based on the inductive method with an applied nature. The project was developed inthe state school Professora Margarida Lopes (in Santa Maria city, Brazil), where a questionnairewas applied to a group of teenagers and adults students in order to have a preliminary assessmentwhat would be covered by the research. Later on, an informal conversation about environmentalissues with emphasis on Vacacaí-mirim sub-basin was conducted by the researcher. After that, thestudents were taken to the laboratory where a work on how to use satellite images was carriedout. The results of this laboratory work were evaluated by a final questionnaire. Some of theseresults are presented and discussed in this paper.

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
