Environmental education is considered to be the central aspect of the process of change towards sustainable development. Environment has been considered as a game, in which all individuals are players and the future existence of the individuals depends upon the environment. Environmental problems such as climate change endanger ones affluence and economic development. Cooperative action is the only means through which these problems can be solved; like education for sustainable development, is based on building awareness and identification with personal living environments. Environmental education is not just the transference of knowledge but it is learning about political action, cooperative action, sustainable development, economic development and survival of living organisms and human beings (Herodin & Zuhlsdorff, 2002).
