The United Nations has designated the period 2005 to 2014 as the decade of “Education for Sustainable Development”. The objective is to integrate the concept of sustainable development in education processes around the World. It is an undeniable fact that human beings are having a significant impact on the natural environment. As the global population continues to rise, humans place more and more pressure on a finite number of resources. The culture of environmental valuing has not been taken seriously in India at present. This has resulted into the deteriorating state of the environment. It is an undeniable fact that human beings are having a significant impact on the natural environment. As the global population continues to rise, humans place more and more pressure on a finite number of resources. We should create widespread environmental and civic awareness by promoting community based environmental improvement efforts. The aim of the Environmental Education is to reach out to general masses with the messages and services, build-up grass-root movement, and influence need based policy formulation. Public education and awareness are the key factors in any attempt to maintain a proper balance and ensure sustainable development. Recognizing the potential of Environmental Education as an effective instrument in preventing environmental crises and as an essential element of sustainable development , we have to engage in spearheading environmental education and  awareness from the very beginning. It has been found that to make development sustainable, it is better to mobilize the society rather than leading it; because once the self-confidence in the people germinates it will not take a long time for the flowers of development to blossom. And for community participation and mobilization, training and demonstration are the key factors. On the above-said lines, some projects should be run based on training and demonstration to enhance the community participation in some sectors of the Society. For establishing a sustainable society that realizes sound economic development with reduced the environmental loads while maintaining a healthy and productive environment, providing a basic principle on environmental conservation activities, encouragement of willingness for environmental conservation and environmental education , clarifying the responsibilities ofcitizens and private bodies etc., use of various media and technology, promote research activities, maintain eco-clubs, and organize co-curricular activities. There is a need to develop sensitivity in population. Because, most of us have knowledge and awareness but, we are not sensitive. So finally it can be said that we all (NGOs, schools, and other community groups) must all work together to ensure the future success of environmental education campaigns ranging from the global to the grass root level.
