Abstract

This study aimed to verify that the level of environmental education of managers of organizations located in the commercial center of the city of Aracaju (SE), selected for this has to do with the adoption of sustainable practices in the daily life of these small businesses. The focus directed to the size of such companies as striking is its importance to the local economy especially with regard to employability. It is a study of a mixed nature, where it was applied a questionnaire and open interviews with managers of organizations. Finally, after analyzing the collected data, it became clear that the level of environmental education (EE) of those involved is low and that environmental practices are also not well-founded, as well as ineffective. This time, we may associate that an EA is of fundamental importance to a supportive manager environmentally friendly actions.
