Orr There is a bold new movement underway in school systems across North America and around the world. School gardens bloom in wintry climates and on former asphalt lots. Schools from Washington to Florida have transformed into model communities. This movement responds to the realization that the young people in school today will inherit a host of pressing — and escalating — environmental challenges: threats of climate change; loss of biodiversity; the end of cheap energy; depletion of resources; environmental degradation; gross inequities in standards of living; obesity, diabetes, asthma, and other environmentally linked illness.

Detailed Information: Throughout North America and the world, people and organizations are increasingly aware of the emergence of ecological crises and the need for an ecologically literate citizenry. In contrast to previous decades when outdoor and environmental education were marginalized as peripheral subjects in schools and extracurricular areas like girl guides, scouting and camping, the possibilities for ecological education today are expanding to become a more substantive part of school, recreation, leisure, cultural, and social service programs. This drive for eco-literacy is reflected in the growing demand for eco-tourism employees with high levels of education to provide information, analysis, and education about ecology and environment in a manner that supports increasingly critical learners. Ecological education also has significant potential for supporting locally-controlled developments to preserve local and primary environments.
