The aim of this study was to explore the role of environmental education
in dealing with solid waste in the Central Business District of Thohoyandou.
The study was carried out in the Thohoyandou Central Business District
(CBD). Two organisations were identified as practising environmental
education in Thohoyandou, namely, the Environmental Education Desk
(Environmental Affairs) and the Environmental Health Services (Thulamela
Municipality). Officers from these organisations were interviewed.
Vendors and hawkers in the Thohoyandou Central Business District were
asked to complete a questionnaire on the role of environmental education
in dealing with solid waste.
The literature review in the study included the theoretical perspectives on environmental education and solid waste. From this review that solid waste can have both a positive and negative impact on the local and global environment.
Therefore, environmental education that has a role in dealing with solid waste has an important part to play in sustainable development. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.(Environmental Education)
