The environmental education is today a recurrent subject in our day by day. The environmental question cannot any more be only related to the biological area or mixed up with the Ecology and the environmental education as an issue to be dealt with only in the occasions in which environmental disasters occur. The current concept of environmental education includes the participation of the citizen as an operating actor in this scenery. This scenery, which is not restricted to forests, fields, seas or any other natural ecosystem, encloses all environments in which one lives and interacts, such as our house, our workstation, public areas or the community. The environmental programs are, in their majority, based on practical pedagogical deeds that use writing as language. This format, in a country such as Brazil in which illiteracy leaves are still high and the scholarity leaves are low, finds little effectiveness in the results of its proposal. In this context, the Communication, and its ways of diffusion, allied to the Design, mainly in regards to graphic design, can be valuable instruments for the survey and elaboration of new methodological techniques that privilege the production of knowledge and the construction of a citizen awareness of environmental type. Design, communication and environmental education have notables interdisciplinary relations which I present through citations and bibliographical references, and a brief statement on a case study in which theories regarding the interdisciplinary relations between these areas that can add new knowledge and new values in the process of knowledge construction and citizenship without the need a cultural decharacterization, have been experimented.
