Environmental education has the important role of alerting people to the consequences of their actions on the environment, as well as the impacts caused by them.  In this perspective, teachers have the role of stimulating students to think in a contextualized way about how they relate to the environment in where they live and, thus, to modify small habits of everyday life, to reduce excessive water consumption, to recycle, reuse, avoid waste and consumerism This article aims to discuss the importance of teaching environmental education as a transversal theme from the initial grades of elementary education to reinforce the importance of working it effectively in schools.
