Which is why, the introduction of a separate subject to make students realize their responsibilities is a great idea. But the teaching approach is what matters the most.

Shouldn’t it be a moral responsibility of every individual? If you want to increase awareness, why ask them to read about it? Why not just ask them to do it? Teach them how to reduce plastic use, how to grow some plants or keep a small vessel with water for birds in the limited space of their houses, how to keep cleanliness, encourage usage of re-cylced products.. the list can simply go on. Joining NGOs can be helpful. But no, the students should sit in a room and study the concepts of Environmental Science or whatever they call it. They should learn the jargons and their meanings by heart to spit it out on the exam paper and then move on to a new subject. Yeah! that sounds like a plan.
