Abstract

Unsustainable actions generate negative impacts on the environment, society, and economy, compromising natural resources and future quality of life. Examples include deforestation, excessive consumption of non-renewable energy, and improper waste disposal, leading to environmental degradation, social inequalities, and biodiversity loss. Awareness and sustainable practices are essential to preserve resources and ensure a balanced future. This research aimed to investigate the perceptions of students, parents, guardians, teachers, and military personnel at the Tiradentes Military State School in Sinop/MT regarding the impacts of unsustainable actions and sustainable and conscious measures. It was classified as applied, mixed-method (qualitative and quantitative), exploratory research through a case study. The results highlighted a remarkable and significant concern about awareness of various environmental issues. Moreover, they revealed recognition of environmental problems such as excessive consumption of natural resources, improper use of pesticides in agriculture, ecosystem degradation, and pollutant emissions. Finally, it is essential for the school to strengthen initiatives promoting the conscious consumption of natural resources.
