Kids Go Green!
School should not only be teaching how to nurture our environment, but rather, we should set at least once a day to go out to the neighborhood, observe, interview the local folks, or just do a simple survey on environment related issues. With these activities we are not only exposing them to reality but also making them feel that as young kids as they are, they are integral part of the society.

Let working with environment and sustainability be a part of the curricula
Concepts in biology, ecology/geography, sustainability , local economics can all be "taught" through simple student led projects in school - such as growing vegetables in the school garden and supplying to the local market. Students will learn best as they work with their hands, and appreciate environmental concerns and responsibilities.

Expose even the youngest ones to the environment. Create awareness of caring for the environment and the consequences of not.
We need to create an atmosphere where the child is exposed to the environment from a very early age and grows up knowing what the environment is, how to care for it and what the consequences are for not caring for it. It shouldn't be a subject like literacy or numeracy but an active part of the education like character building. This way the child will learn and naturally find themselves showing a sensitivity to the environment and its needs.
