Green World
After
especially
industrial
revolution,
environmental pollution has increased gradually.
At first, this process was underestimated by
people and institutions but today, the awareness
about it goes up.
Some researches and studies to establish green
world are carried out by states and institutions
such as recycling and renewable energy projects.

Why is protecting the

environment important?
Because environmental pollution;

changes climate of the world (global warming)

decreases water resources
reduces efficiency of earth
decreases biological diversity
brings out energy shortage
bring along serious nutrition problems
breaks ecosystem balance

Why are the

environmental
projects not
common on
university

LITERATURE REVIEW
Knowledge of environmental issues defining the
literacy about environment has been evaluated on the
basis of the attitude towards the environment, the
usage of environment and environmental issues.
According to the descriptive statistical analysis results,
teacher candidates points of environmental knowledge
is insufficient. On the other hand, the results have
shown teacher candidates have an environmentaloriented perspective and an awareness towards
environmental issues (Teksz, ahin & Ertepnar, 2010).

In Yale University, there is a course

Sustainable Development and Institutional
Change offered by the Environmental Studies
Department in order to raise awareness about the
environmental issues.
The program includes informational sessions
on green resource use, recycling competitions,
energy conservation workshops, and orientation
sessions for freshmen and new students. (Parker,
2007)

IN VILLAGE INSTITUTIONS

Students in Village Institutions were trained

in touch with nature. For example; they
were trained on agriculture, they planted.
Such trains raised their consiciousness
about the nature. Briefly, they created the
world that they want to live. (Kartal, 2008)

Evaluation of Survey
Majority of people are not aware of the importance of environment.
Approximately half of the people believe that environmental projects
are not supported by the society.
3 10th of people say that such projects are not given support by

importance by administration, academic staff and students.
In the majority of universities, there is no the department of
environmental sciences and environmental project which is carried on.
Majority of people do not have taken part in any environmental
project.

SUGGESTIONS
The environmental awareness should be raised by telling the
importance of environment in terms of our future.
A course closely related to environmental issues should be added
to the curriculum.
What we can do for the healthy environment should be
expressed to people of all ages.
The environmental projects should be supported by university
administration.
The opportunity of expertation in environmental sciences should
be enabled and supported by government and university staff.
Environmental education should start in preschool.
