Taking care of the environment is becoming increasingly important as we learn about climate change and other negative effects of our current lifestyle. Some say that the most important thing we can do as a society is to teach our children about the importance of looking after the environment so they and the generations after them can have a better future. However, the best way to educate children about this is still debatable.
