The environment quality has undergone deterioration due to pollution. Environmental education has long been viewed as a critical step in the process of creating an environmentally literate population, leading to changing attitudes and behaviours of the population and a more environmentally sustainable way of life. The Tbilisi Conference (1977) , which followed soon after the launch of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), is known to have spearheaded clarification on the nature of environmental education. This conference resulted in a declaration which listed seven directive principles for environmental education (EE) programmes. The Encyclopaedia Britannica defines environment as "the entire range of external influence acting on an organism, both the physical and biological i.e. other organisms, forces of nature surrounding an individual”. | | Keywords : | | - organizational,phonological units,
