Environmental awareness has become a topic of transcendental importance worldwide in the present time. For that reason, the objective of this investigation was to identify the environmental issues occurring in Felton in order to implement an action plan, which will contribute to the protection of the environment in this community through the environmental awareness. The investigation applied the qualitative methodology using the participative action (IAP, acronym in Spanish) as the investigative method and semi-structured interviews, participative observation and analysis of documents. The research itself contributes to elevating the environmental awareness within the locals in order to face the main environmental- associated problems that affect them as well as how to mitigate them.
