Abstract
The emergence of awareness is deeply connected to the process of learning. In fact, by learning that high sound levels may harm one’s health, that noise levels that we estimate as innocuous may be dangerous, that there exist an alternative path we can walk to go to work and minimize our exposure to air pollution, etc., citizens will be able to understand the environment around them and act consequently to go toward a more sustainable world.
