Ecoauditorías ambientales aplicadas a centros escolares del nivel medio superior de la Universidad Autónoma de Guerrero

Abstract

The objective was to identify the environmental situation of four high schools of the Autonomous University of Guerrero, located in Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico, through an environmental audit to learn about its operational processes and the internal and surrounding problems, as a strategy for environmental education and sustainable environmental management. Water, energy, soil, noise, building facilities and structure, solid urban waste, hazardous waste, safety conditions for students and workers were considered. The results showed the lack of environmental management by school authorities, lacking the integration of environmental education. Based on the analysis, environmental strategies for high schools were proposed, based on the programme of the Decade of Environmental Education for Sustainable Development.
