In the Anthropocene, the increasing population, urbanization, industrialization and modernization of human society have increased the demand on the natural resources for survival and prosperity. Now the time arises where the people need to have knowledge of what types of environmental problems we are facing. Each one of us should be aware of the pressure on our planet and to overcome it. Optimum use of resources today and for the future generation in a sustainable manner is very essential today. Thus, the ecoliteracy helps in instilling respect, a sense of belonging; sharpen our scientific temper and awareness of living life in harmonious balance.
