Japan is a country whose people have a high awareness of the importance of environmental preservation. The environment in Japan can be maintained well not apart from the cooperation between the government and the community together to preserve and protect the surrounding environment. One of the keys to Japan's success in protecting the environment is the consistent and dynamic implementation of environmental education since elementary school age. Environmental education in primary schools in Japan is taught directly through experiments and direct observation in the surrounding environment. Environmental education in primary schools in Japan is associated with several subjects, one of which is the subject of Natural Sciences (rika) and Social Sciences (shakai). Environmental education is also taught through integrated study activities (sougotekina gakushu), through efforts to maintain cleanliness together, through assignments during the summer holidays. The model of environmental education is implemented consistently and with full awareness by elementary school managers in Japan and their students so as to produce students who have a high awareness of the importance of protecting the environment.

This interdisciplinary research has the playful art as a tool to raise awareness about the conservation of sharks and the environmental health of the Ocean, in addition to the search for the demystification of some concepts bringing to light the biological and ecological importance that this emblematic group represents for the natural balance of the Blue Planet. In the months of June and July 2018 at the visiting aquarium in Paraíba, a space for the propagation of non-formal environmental education, it was sought through the theatrical play "Swimming in Safety, a Sea of Hope" to apply the way of doing and teaching the concepts of sustainability and environmental preservation since the choice of the team, the actors and scenographic materials. Through exploratory and participant research, photographic and video records, we investigated the reactions of the audience before, during and after the play. The evaluation process was permanent in order to make constant improvements. The play tried to highlight not only information about the characteristics and importance of preserving sharks, but also the main threats such as the practice of finning, which through a plot between the pirate and the shark and the echinoderms, it was possible to explain the defence systems that each being has, all of which are important, showing that sharks are worth much more alive than dead. The expertise and performance of artistic activities such as juggling, magic and balance contributed to the success of the play. The results prove that this type of multidisciplinary experience, which promotes learning through enchantment, should be encouraged because it will certainly constitute a basis for future attitudes, especially in children, since they will feel encouraged to protect nature, according to the premises of the Decade of Oceanic Science and Ecological Restoration.

Local Traditions

The environmental conditions in Indonesia, especially those in the urban areas, have experienced very severe quality degradation. From the aspect of culture, the Indonesia people have inherited customs and traditions on preservation of their nature and environment. Tradition and cultures including values are usually transferred from parents to their children. In this research, a survey was conducted to investigate the influence of parents’ behavior on the children knowledge on the environmental preservation awareness. Respondents were selected from several elementary school students located near Cikapundung River, Bandung-Indonesia. Questionnaires were distributed to explore on how the students preserve the river located near their school.  The research showed that the behavior ofthe parents had a weak positive correlation to the knowledge of the child in maintaining the environment, with the determination coefficient of 0.3. Local traditions or wisdom which tend to appreciate nature and environment have also been faded.  As much as 46 percent of respondent believe that wastewater can be discharged directly to the river. This research result also conclude that not only the children’s environmental awareness that need to be increased, but their parents’ through official environmental education at school and upholding the local wisdoms in the community. With the involvement of other key stakeholders, the environmental education and the preservation of the local wisdom then can be maintained in the future. Keywords: parents’ behavior, children awareness of environmental preservation

Resumo O cenário de degradação ambiental torna o futuro do nosso planeta incerto. Diversas organizações tentam reverter este problema e a educação ambiental é um instrumento essencial para uma possível mudança. O objetivo deste trabalho é sensibilizar estudantes do ensino médio sobre a importância do descarte adequado dos resíduos sólidos e demonstrar como é possível mudar atitudes diárias para a preservação ambiental. O projeto foi desenvolvido com alunos do 3º ano, em um colégio da rede estadual de ensino do Paraná. Em outubro de 2018, produziu-se uma composteira e 13 alunos foram convidados a participar voluntariamente da execução do projeto. Inicialmente, diversas palestras foram realizadas sobre os temas transversais à compostagem. Após a construção, todos os resíduos orgânicos produzidos na escola passaram a ser depositados na composteira. Os alunos foram incentivados, também, a transmitir os conhecimentos adquiridos à comunidade, com o intuito de ampliar a disseminação da educação ambiental. Antes e depois das atividades, aplicaram-se questionários para examinar o conhecimento prévio dos alunos e os saberes desenvolvidos no decurso do projeto. Após as intervenções, visualizou-se, com auxílio dos questionários, a evolução dos alunos, além de uma maior sensibilização em relação à destinação correta dos resíduos gerados. Aspira-se que mais trabalhos sobre o tema sejam realizados no ambiente escolar — local em que parte da formação dos sujeitos ocorre. Palavras-chave: Biodegradação. Metodologias alternativas. Sensibilização ambiental. Abstract The scenario of environmental degradation makes the future of our planet uncertain. Several organizations are trying to reverse this problem and environmental education is an essential instrument to change the current situation. This work aimed to raise awareness among high school students about the importance of proper disposal of solid waste and demonstrate how simply it is possible to change daily attitudes towards environmental preservation. The project was developed with 3rd grade students from a school in the state education system of Paraná. In October 2018, a composter was produced and 13 students were invited to participate voluntarily of the execution of the project. Initially, several lectures were held on the transversal themes of composting. After construction, all organic waste produced at the school was deposited in the compost bin. The students were also encouraged to transmit the knowledge acquired to the community, aiming to broaden the dissemination of environmental education. Before and after the activities, questionnaires were applied to examine the students' previous knowledge, as well as the knowledge they developed during all the activities. After the interventions, it was possible to visualize, with the help of the questionnaires, the evolution in the students' knowledge about the theme, as well as an awareness about the correct destination of the waste generated. It is hoped that more work aimed at environmental awareness will be carried out in the school environment — where part of the individuals’ formation occurs. Keywords: Biodegradation.
