Abstract:

An ecological footprint is an area that continuously creates resources or disperses waste. Ecological footprints reflect the ecological assessment of an area.
In its purest form, sustainable development measures the ecological impacts of human beings and the ability of the earth's life system to absorb these impacts. Environmental sustainability is determined by the capacity of a system to absorb waste. Minerals, water, forests, and land are examples of natural resources consumed by economic activity.
Recent research on the relationship between energy consumption and the environment has been booming. Renewable energy consumption, economic growth, biomass capacity, and trade policies were examined for their impact on the environment.
Our goal is to offer early childhood education as a solution to reduce the ecological footprint in Israel.
Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of environmental education. They were preventing children from picking delicate plants. Education has had a profound impact on the community, and its effects can still be felt today.
HIT Holon Institute of Technology offers an academic course called Green Ambassadors in the Community. As part of the course, Holon Institute of Technology students from the various faculties meet with pupils from elementary schools and teach them using workshops and experiential teaching methods how to be "Green Ambassadors" in their communities and environments. During environmental workshops, 120-180 pupils from one or two schools are selected each year. Through quizzes, the accumulated knowledge will be tested during the workshops. Changing consciousness and environmental awareness are the most important goals for reducing ecological footprints.
We will examine the long-term effects of cooperation between the pupils and the students, the opinions of the teachers at the school, and the cooperation between the pupils and the students. What impact has the experience had on the pupils and how may it reduce their ecological footprint at home, at school, and nearby. It seemed as if pupils recently preferred using reusable tools over disposable ones among the students. While running the air conditioner, make sure the windows are closed for thermal insulation. Instead of asking for a ride with the parents in the car, prefer walking or riding a bicycle. In order to reduce the environmental footprint, great efforts must be made to promote green education among children, even if the change is not immediate.
