Monografia (Licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas) – Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Amazonas, Campus Manaus Centro, Manaus, 2019.http://repositorio.ifam.edu.br/jspui/handle/4321/552This work aimed to understand the conceptions of the students of the Federal Institute of Education Science and Technology (IFAM) regarding the destination of waste, in order to provide actions that raise awareness of the preservation and protection of natural resources in society. To this end, questionnaires were applied in a collection action at Ponta Negra beach and an online questionnaire with IFAM students. The results showed that although they are aware of the impacts caused by improper waste disposal, students also discard some materials incorrectly, such as electronic waste. Thus environmental education is the way for each individual to change habits by assuming new attitudes that lead to the reduction of environmental degradation and promote the conservation and improvement of quality of life in harmony with natural resources.Acesso AbertoResíduos sólidosEducação AmbientalAtividadesCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO::ENSINO-APRENDIZAGEMTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso
