John McConnel founded International Earth Day in 1970 to address various environmental problems caused by human activity, including depletion of natural resources, land degradation, population growth, and species extinction. Environmental education aims to develop awareness of environmental issues and teach sustainable use of resources. It has evolved from early nature study and conservation education movements. Key developments included the 1970 first Earth Day, the UN Stockholm Conference, and the Tbilisi Declaration which outlined goals and principles of environmental education. EE is taught through various formal and informal methods to provide citizens with knowledge and skills for environmental problem-solving and decision-making.Gen final project #3 business plan
