Environment and sustainability

In his book, Ecological Literacy, David Orr claims

. . . all education is environmental education. By what is included or excluded, emphasized or ignored, students learn that they are a part of or apart from the
natural world. Through all education we inculcate the ideas of careful stewardship or carelessness. (Orr 1992)

What did he mean by this? What characterizes effective environmental education? Where and how should environmental education, ecological literacy and sustainability
be taught? Why?

You should not simply answer the question but develop a thesis and support the thesis through your writing.

TIP: Be sure to develop a logical defense as to why you believe what you do. Higher scoring papers traditionally use specific examples from the readings and your
experiences to defend your ideas.
