EcoJustice Education

Environmental education is the key to America's success in the future. Paul Theobald makes that clear. If America does not progress, it will be overtaken by other more environmentally aware countries such as Brazil. Americans go to school in hopes of getting a decent job of hopefully their choice, however, in today's society not just any job is going to cut it. Education needs to have an environmental perspective starting on day one in kindergarten. By doing this, as children grow up, they will think it is strange buying gas guzzlers such as hummers, large trucks, SUVs, etc. Our generation is more probable in transitioning than older generations because we are used to the constant improving of technology as well as being used to buying whatever, whenever. But we can do better by educating the children to be sustainable.
