Environmental sensitivity is considered one of the main important factors on responsible environmental behaviors and defined as an ability to accept the feelings or stimuli about environments. It is different from knowledge, skills or values. So the special strategies to promote environmental sensitivity are needed to form the responsible environmental behaviors. The purposes of this study were to develop an strategy to promote environmental sensitivity and to verify the effects. A new strategy was based on the idea of humanistic education and key points were to feel environments by body and to confront the present by staring of `here-and-now situation`. This strategy was applied when the instructions were carried about four environmental issues to experimental group. By the results, first, the number of students to state feelings correctly were increased, second, the intensities of feelings were stronger, third, the feelings were more various. Therefore this strategy is helpful to promote environmental sensitivity.
