Environmental Education – a New School Subject?

 You have probably heard about global warming and other environmental problems in the news.

Unfortunately, there are many severe environmental issues many people aren’t aware of.

In my opinion a new subject in school about environmental education would be required to get

people informed and make the world a better place we can be proud of.

Because there are serious environmental issues that threaten many places in the world, I believe

that it is important to talk about a few of them in school. Some current environmental issues are

world hunger, pollution, deforestation and global warming. For example, the concentration of CO 2 in

the atmosphere was increased by 48 percent in comparison to the preindustrial age and the Amazon

River releases almost 20 percent more CO 2 into the atmosphere than it consumes from it.

There are many ways how schools can contribute to fighting the climate crisis. Firstly, they could

teach generation Z more about the greenhouse effect and global warming so teenagers are more

thoughtful and determined to act. They could also go on climate strikes and protests to show

students the importance of stopping global warming.

In my opinion environmental education should become a new school subject. Often people don’t

care about the current issues on earth because they don’t know much about them. Especially in

Austria we don’t see the scars from problems like hunger and global warming as they aren’t as

drastic problems in our country, so many people forget about them. If young people learn more

about environmental issues in school they will hopefully start making changes in their lives to

prevent those problems from escalating.

If you agree with me and want to change your lifestyle in order to improve the environmental state

of our planet, please share this blog with your friends and family and leave an inspiring comment on

the latest global incidents. Additionally, subscribe to my blog if you want to take a stand in favour of

solving our environmental problems.

Let’s not close our eyes to the environmental issues on earth and take action!

The status of our environment is getting worse and worse!

  Don’t you think our environment is in big trouble? Because I do! There is this huge hole in the ozone layer which has to close again for example. But this only works if we finally decide to do something for it. Planting trees would be optimal. But this hole isn’t our only problem. There are many other problems like the pollution of oceans and seas. Many fishes are dying because of that. But the list of bad things doesn’t stop here. There are many other disasters we have to do something about as well. To fix those things we need every help we can get. So why don’t you or your school contribute something good for the environment? For example, by going to demonstrations. Starting an environmental-protection school project would also be a great idea. There are many other options to do something good for nature as long as something changes. Even if you only start separating waste. But to start helping the environment people have to know what they can do about it. Therefore, it would b...

Parents Information

Dear Parents of the Wenzgasse, in our English Elective course, we are currently working on an online portal that is allowing students to exchange their habits of learning for tests and how they help them. We also want to publish weekly tips that can be used to increase your learning abilities in different ways, for example on concentration and receptivity.    Our goal is to write a blog by Austrian high school students that have all experienced the difficulties of learning correctly. We think our tips that focuses lesson study mater and more on advice on how to learn can help a wide range of students, especially since they emphasise modern education.
