Blumstein9100686  aThe failure of environmental education (and how we can fix it)/h[electronic resource]cCharles Saylan and Daniel T. Blumstein  bUniversity of California Press,c2011  aAt a time when wild places everywhere are vanishing before our eyes, Charles Saylan and Daniel T. Blumstein offer this passionate indictment of environmental educationXalong 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 actionXincluding 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.  aEnvironmental education946156  aPublic opinion92097741uhttp://portal.igpublish.com/iglibrary/search/UCPB0000483.html  c10  c66205d66205
