Blumstein offer this passionate indictment of environmental education-along with a new vision for the future. Writing for general readers and educators alike, Saylan and Blumstein boldly argue that education today has failed to reach its potential in fighting climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation. In this forward-looking book, they assess the current political climate, including the No Child Left Behind Act, a disaster for environmental education, and discuss how education can stimulate action-including decreasing consumption and demand, developing sustainable food and energy sources, and addressing poverty. Their multidisciplinary perspective encompasses such approaches as school gardens, using school buildings as teaching tools, and the greening of schoolyards. Arguing for a paradigm shift in the way we view education as a whole, The Failure of Environmental Education demonstrates how our education system can create new levels of awareness and work toward a sustainable future. 606 $aEnvironmental education 606 $aEnvironmental education - Public opinion 606 $aEnvironmental education 606 $aEnvironmental education$xPublic opinion 606 $aEarth & Environmental Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aEnvironmental education. 615 4$aEnvironmental education - Public opinion. 615 4$aEnvironmental education. 615 0$aEnvironmental education$xPublic opinion 615 7$aEarth & Environmental Sciences 615 7$aEnvironmental Sciences 676 $a333.7071 686 $aAR 14600$2rvk 700 $aSaylan$b Charles, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01031238 702 $aBlumstein$b Daniel, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460098203321 996 $aThe Failure of Environmental Education (And How We Can Fix It)$92448515 997 $aUNINA
