This presentation is my academic slide on the course EDUC 617, course title- Environmental Education, at Institute of Education and Research, University of Rajshahi. Here, I talked about identifying & evaluating environmental resources around us and designing an environmental education program informal, nonformal, and personalized education system.

1. Identifying & Evaluating environmental
resources and how to design an
environmental education program

2. ENVIRONMENT
• The surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates.
• Environment can be defined as a sum total of all the living and non-living elements and their
effects that influence human life. While all living or biotic elements are animals, plants,
forests, fisheries, and birds, non-living or abiotic elements include water, land, sunlight, rocks,
and air.
• The circumstances, objects, or conditions by which one is surrounded by-
a: the complex of physical, chemical, and biotic factors (such as climate, soil, and living things)
that act upon an organism or an ecological community and ultimately determine its form
and survival
b: the aggregate of social and cultural conditions that influence the life of an individual or
community

3. CLASSIFICATION FROM GEOLOGICAL
PERSPECTIVE
The classification of the environment
broadly divides it into two categories –
• Geographical Environment
• Manmade Environment

4. GEOGRAPHICAL ENVIRONMENT
Geographical environment is the terrestrial environment that is a
creation of complex natural and environmental conditions.
it is the complement of direct interaction between nature and
human society.
They are direct aspects of how human society conceptualizes the
geography of the earth.
A geographical environment is also called a natural environment
as it interacts with nature.
Example- The earth’s surface, rivers, mountains, deserts, land,
water, oceans, volcanoes, etc.

5. MAN MADE ENVIRONMENT
Man cannot directly live in the geographical environment, so he
creates some of his environmental conditions to adjust to it.
This is a man-made or human-made environment, a human
creation.
• The Inner environment
• The Outer environment
The inner environment is the social environment that endures as long as society
cherishes. The inner environment has a profound impact on human lives. The inner
environment is often called the 'social heritage'
The outer environment is the physical environment that man has created on his own with
the evolving technology and science. It is the modification of the physical environment
that has helped cope with the progress of mankind and the development of the
environment.
Example- city infrastructures, houses, various amenities provided at the social and
individual level, transport and communication

6. CLASSIFICATION BASED ON SOCIOLOGICAL
PERSPECTIVE
Social environment
Political environment
Literary environment
School environment

7. ENVIRONMENTAL ECOSYSTEM
Types of Environmental Ecosystems-
• Forest Ecosystems.
• Grassland Ecosystems.
• Desert Ecosystems.
• Tundra Ecosystems.
• Freshwater Ecosystems.
• Marine Ecosystems.
Tropical temperate
Boreal

8. ENVIRONMENT FUNCTIONS
1) Provides the supply of resources
4) Enhances the quality of life
2) Sustains life
3) Assimilates waste

9. NATURAL
RESOURCES

10. TYPES OF NATURAL RESOURCES
(1) Renewable resources
Renewable resources are the resources that can never be exhausted or
depleted with continuous use.
There remains a continuous supply of renewable resources.
Examples: Water, trees, etc.
(2) Non-renewable resources
Non-renewable resources are the resources that get exhausted with their
extraction and use.
Examples: Coal, petroleum, iron ore, etc.

11. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOUORCES: NATURAL

12. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURSE: MANMADE

13. MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO USE
THOSE RESOURCES
Planning the ways
of using this
Implement the most
eco friendly way
