Environmental awareness Environmental awareness My friend Ana and I were in downtown. We were catching up because I don’t see often her as before when we studied on the University where I knew her. While we were talking, we saw in front of us that a woman with his son was walking. His son had a water bottle and he decided to throw it on the floor and his mother didn’t say anything. In this moment I asked me: What happen with some people? It isn’t the first time that I see that. My friend when saw that said me: His mom doesn’t know that it’s a problem because this is part of education. But this is the life that we choose and this is a problem because people need environmental education. Nowadays the mass media, schools, high school and universities are working to preserve the environment. It’s good because people will have environmental awareness and it’s necessary if we want live better and our children too. The social communicator and the educators together with the mass media and institutions can obtain a cultural change because through the communication we can change the world. It’s not late to preserve the environment.
