Environmental Education is a very comprehensive way of "educating" and it should happen through processes where the individual and the community build social values, knowledge, skills, attitudes and competence aimed at the conservation of the environment. In the area of basic sanitation, environmental education develops a major role, since the lack of adequate knowledge and skills creates serious harm to the health and well-being of the population. In this work, a alternative method for treatment of domestic wastewater treatment was carried out and evaluated, ideal for communities far from urban centers and without sewage treatment system. Through the results achieved, together with the technical information presented, it was possible to think of a strategy to bring knowledge to the whole community. So, later, a educational hornbook on the importance of basic sanitation, as well as on the importance of a sewage treatment, its advantages, disadvantages andeconomic comparative with other models of sewage treatment has been elaborated, so that public agencies can work with the population in order to reach an awareness about the importance of the subject to improve the life and health of people.
