  • nestEnvironmental education (EE) is rooted in the belief that humans can live compatibly with nature and act equitably toward each other. Another fundamental belief is that people can make informed decisions that consider future generations.
  • There are so many reasons why educating the next generation about the natural world is good for society. A great environmental education promotes interest in and engagement with the natural world and encourages the next generation of conservationists who will protect our precious natural resources.  After all, well-informed young people and adults are the key to finding future solutions to the complex issues currently threatening the health of our air, land, water, wildlife, and economy.
  • The need to understand environmental topics as they relate to everyday life becomes more important – and more urgent – each day.  Yet research shows that people generally, know startlingly little about the environment and even less about their personal connections to the natural world.
  • daisyWithout knowledge and understanding of these topics, taking personal action often seems overwhelming and pointless—yet individual actions are at the helm of many environmental problems including high energy consumption, water and air pollution, and sprawl.
  • To address these problems, they must be understood. When we incorporate environmental learning into school lessons, children develop an environmental literacy that will help them make informed decisions to protect the environment at home, at work and in their community for the rest of their lives.
