Abstract

In this communication, we evaluate two cartoons with environmental issues related to water resources that describe scenes which can be classified as environmental crimes, based on the programming infractions in Law nº 9.605/1998. Based on two examples, we argue that, in the context of Science teaching, thematic loads may be used as a didactic resource to problematize themes related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as those provided for in SDG 6 (water and sanitation for all), 11 (sustainable cities and human settlements), 14 (oceans, seas and marine resources) and 15 (terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity). In addition, working with cartoons that represent environmental crimes, many of which are naturalized in our society, may contribute to: (i) raising awareness about this naturalization process; (ii) denaturalize these accepted actions along time; (iii) renaturalize the actions to more sustainable situations, aiming at reducing environmental pollution and, if possible, complete elimination of damaging human action.
